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?

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

Dear,

Per LEED Reference Guide, the fresh air for baseline must follow ASHRAE 62.1 - 2010. My Client is asking to use different occupancy density than stated per ASHRAE 62.1 with the the fresh air requirements for occupancy and area.

My question now, the baseline fresh air calculations can be based on occupancy densities different than ASHRAE 62.1?

Regards,

Ahmed

If the occupancy density is known then you should use that in your calculations for both the baseline model and IEQp1. If the occupancy density is not known then use the default occupancy values.
