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

Unused Floors

Hi Guys, 

I am working on an office building that has been designed with one of its floors to be empty and unused for the foreseeable future. Does anyone know if this floor is required by LEED to have HVAC installed and if it needs to be considered to meet with ASHRAE standards despite it being unused and blocked off? Thanks.

No it is not required to be installed. The systems get modeled identically in both models.
