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?

Does the base building information need to be included in the minimum energy performance calculator, or is it sufficient to just include the tenant space?

Are there any exceptions to the daylight control requirement of ASHRAE 90.1–2010?

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

CI-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Mandatory to comply with ASHRAE 90.1 2010 Section 9.4.1 for Lighting Control?

We recently received the review result of a LEED v4 Commercial Interior Project. The reviewer is asking for proof whether all mandatory requirements of section 9.4.1 for lighting control have been met? 

From our earlier projects going for LEED V4 CI, we havent received any such comments. By simply reducing LPD and installating Daylight and Occupancy Sensors, we used to comply. 

Now after checking ASHRAE 90.1 2010 Section 9.4.1 requirements, a lot of requirement might not be able to make. 

What is the way forward here?

Hello, where is located the project? In Europe there is a specific Alternative compliance path for the mandatory provisions.

Hi Shashank Gangil, did you figure out your issue here? I am exploring something similar with a project.

Hi Shashank,   In the 9.4.1 Mandatory provision for lighting control, aside from daylight and occupancy sensor provision, you must also check about the 30%-70% control step down requirement (exclude the exception spaces mentioned in 9.4.1.2a.a). For this control step down you can use at least 3 circuitries to meet the requirement or if you want to be exempted then you need to make the LPD <6.4 W/m2. But for the daylighting area, you need to provide dimming control to the daylight sensor, in order to control step down between 50% and 70% design lighting power and another control step that is no greater than 35% (including off) of design power.   For the daylighting area, you must provide the dimming control. For the remaining spaces , you can check you circuitries and the LPD in your project for the control step down requirement, whether the space already complies from its circuitry or from the LPD can be exempted or need to reduce the lamp’s power and LPD to be exempted   Thanks and regards.
