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?

Hi all, I'm currently working in a project of shopping mall (common areas + tenant areas) pursuing LEED certification (Core&Shell). The common areas include an illuminated open mall. For exterior lighting power allowance purposes, I'm not sure of the type of space that I should consider (please see ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Table 9.4.3B). I think that Sales canopies and Outdoor sales - open areas are the most close categories to the open mall. However, since the allowances are so different (6,5 W/m2 vs 2,7 W/m2), can you help me finding the applicable category? Thanks in advance,

This space may be a combination of areas. Canopies only count directly under a canopy. Outdoor sales only count where there is merchandise for sale. Sounds like much of this outdoor space is simply circulation so walkways/plaza/special feature area would also apply.
