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?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Outdoor Ice Rink Energy Performance

We are looking at LEED for a multi-purpose sports facility with indoor space and an outdoor ice rink that is not enclosed.  Would the outdoor ice rink factor into any energy performance criteria?  Is the energy performance of chilling the ice excluded as a process load not covered by any tables?

The outdoor rink must be included in the models identically as a process load.

My pleasure Ralph! you can, of course, claim saving through an exceptional calculation for something like a higher efficiency chiller or other strategies.

Ah, good point.  I had not considered that.  Thanks again.
