Hi,

I would like to know if the new version of HAP, HAP v6, is approved by the USGBC to meet this Prerequisite and Credit,

Thank you,

USGBC does not approve modeling software. If the software complies with 90.1-2010 Appendix G Section G2.2, then it is fine to use for LEED.

FAQs about EAp2:

Do the required savings for this prerequisite (and credit) need to come only from building energy, or also process loads?

Our project doesn't have enough energy savings to earn the prerequisite. Can we get there by incorporating onsite renewables?

Our proposed design has insulation R-values that are below those prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Can we still meet the prerequisite?
