NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance
I have two questions regarding exterior lighting and treatment of the LEED boundary in EAp2. 1. If the LEED boundary excludes exterior lights that were installed as part of the project, should these lights be included in the energy model? 2. If the LEED boundary includes existing exterior parking lot lights to remain (powered from another building) should these lights be included in the energy model?
