LEED v4 ID+C – Baseline Envelope Clarification (ASHRAE 90.1-2010)

Hello,

We are working on a LEED v4 ID+C office fit-out project with no envelope modifications — the envelope is entirely outside our scope of work.

For the baseline envelope, should we follow:

1. Appendix G, Table G3.1 Section 5(f) — baseline envelope = existing base building envelope?
2. Or does the LEED v4 ID+C Reference Guide override Section 5(f), requiring the baseline envelope to follow ASHRAE 90.1-2010 prescriptive values?

Any references to the relevant Reference Guide section or LEED Interpretations would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance for your support.

In the Reference Guide see Further Explanation, Common Issues with Energy Modeling, Building Envelop section. Assuming the building was previously conditioned space the answer appears to be #1.
