Dear All:-
Greetings
I need some clarity in terms in the terms used in "LEED ID + C ref guide page no 172"
what is meant by
1.Project area
2.Total Segment area of LEED CI project ECB energy simulation
The Issues are
1.Can we include the Entire building in energy modeling or just LEED CI floor area
2.my project building is existing building and we just change the interior lights and bulbs for out interior space only so can we take my previous lighting, envelope and HVAC as my BASE case or ASHRAE as my basecase

1. The area of the CI project.
2. The portion of the building included in your model. This could be part of the building or the whole building. See Step 2 on page 169.
1. Usually you will need to model more than just the CI area but it depends on the HVAC system configuration.
2. For building envelop you can use the previous (Table G3.1-5 Baseline (f)). For lighting and HVAC you use ASHRAE baseline.
