FAQs about EAp2 :

Our project has a large process load—75%. Despite our efforts to make an efficient HVAC design, the cost savings are minimal. What can we do to earn this prerequisite and be eligible for LEED certification? Is there any flexibility in how we model the p

Can SHGC be higher in the proposed than in the baseline model?

Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?

Do I need to justify the electrical and fuel rates I am using in my model?

Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

Can I claim exterior lighting savings for canopy lighting even though a baseline model cannot include shading elements?

The project is built on a site with existing exterior lighting installed. How should this be accounted for?

Can mezzanines open to floors below be excluded from the energy model?

NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

Supplemental Table 1.4 - reviewers comment

Greetings, I've received a comment from a reviewer, that insufficient info regarding VAV reheat terminal units are provided in this table. I've been checking over again and I didn't find a place where such info could be entered. The only way I see, is to upload the input value report from the modeling software or to cut a printout from the entering screen of the software. Is this acceptable or there are other options. The other question to this Table 1.4 is regarding the LEED v4. According to it, the ASHRAE version is to be 90.1-2010. In the last downloadable version of this Table 1.4 however, in the Instruction tab is written that ASHRAE 90.1 2007 is to be addressed. Is there a latest version on Table 1.4 which is addressing ASHRAE 90.2010. Thanks.

It should be entered in the Other (Describe) area at the bottom of Table 1.4.7B. Sounds like either or both methods would work. It is always a good idea to provide evidence of what was modeled from the software as opposed to just entering a number in a form, especially if you want to make sure that there is no doubt in the reviewer's mind. There is a version of this table being used for LEED v4 projects. See - http://www.usgbc.org/sampleforms

Thanks for the reply. I've checked meanwhile the site where you've mentioned I'd find the Table 1.4 used for LEEDv4, but didn't find it. Is this table have a new reference name? Thanks

They actually combined the energy modeling results and the section 1.4 tables into one calculator. It is called the Minimum Energy Performance Calculator in the link.
