Hi there!

my question is about Path2 of the prerequisite (prescriptive compliance) for project located in Germany. It says that for projects outside the U.S. there are USGBC-approved equivalent standards that can be used instead of the ASHRAE 90.1-2010.

Is there a list/website available which notes those approved standard?

Thanks!

Benjamin, other than Canada, I'm not aware of any approved non-U.S. standards or alternative compliance paths for this prerequisite. I think you need to approach USGBC on a case-by-case basis with documentation of equivalency between ASHRAE 90.1 and the proposed standard. Eliot
