FAQs about EAp2 :

Our project has a large process load—75%. Despite our efforts to make an efficient HVAC design, the cost savings are minimal. What can we do to earn this prerequisite and be eligible for LEED certification? Is there any flexibility in how we model the p

EAP2 required HAP input summary

For the EAP2 upload EAP2-14 LEED is asking for the modeling software "input summary." What specific input summaries are required for Carrier HAP? I am modeling a building over 100,000 sq ft. The glazing input summary alone is over 20 pages. If I were to upload all inputs there would probably be a few hundred pages of data.

I've frequently seen comments about "auto-sized boilers." On those projects I submitted a screen shot of the boiler plant properties (sizing configuration tab).

I looked a little deeper and on that project we actually did upload 45 pages of "input summaries" as well as several screenshots. Robert at software.systems@carrier.utc.com helped clear things up. You can also use the feedback button to get clarification from the review team.

For HAP you should upload the following reports - LEED EA Credit 1 Summary Report, Roof Constructions, Wall Constructions, Window Constructions, Space Input Data, System Input Data, Plant Input Data. This should cover all that needs to be uploaded for both input and output reports.

Thank you for the responses. I checked the space input data and that alone was almost 500 pages. I suppose I should have consolidated the spaces into larger thermal blocks for the LEED submittal, but I used this HAP file in the beginning of the design process to size CFMs for every individual room.

Dear All:- we also using HAP But our project floor area is 90000 Sq.ft but A/c area is just 5,400 Sq.ft Fans in Ventilation area is considered as process load and the remaining load in Ventilation area such as (Lighting & Equipment load ) is considered as Misc load in this case what are the Inputs we need to submit (the ventilation area is given in Additional area tab available in HAP (Building Level misc data)) Options are 1.Ac Space Input data & Systems input summary 2.All spaces Input summary & Systems input summary
