NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

Multiple Buildings

Hello to everybody, I have to model multiple buildings in a field, it´s not a campus, but three of four buildings, some of which are served by the same group of chillers. As I understand, the energy modeling should be for each building and it´s corresponding baseline building, according to square footage and number of floors, for each of them, Please, let me know if I am in the right way, Thank you, Paula

Hi - It might help to clarify which type of LEED submission you are pursuing? How you model the buildings might depend on whether these are totally separate LEED submissions, or whether you are pursuing a group submission? Either way, you will have to show calcs in some manner for each building individually. If they are being serviced by the same plant, you should probably review the District Energy guidelines which go over some of these issues. I think this is a current version: http://www.usgbc.org/Docs/Archive/General/Docs7671.pdf

Thank you Joseph, we are not sure yet how we are going to make the submission, I think that for the moment I will model every building by itself, Thank you for the link, May be latter in the process I will ask for some further help, thank you,
