Emily Purcell Sustainable Design Lead CannonDesign LEEDuser Expert 369 thumbs up October 2, 2024- 12:22 pm I think the credit category and credit structure are really strong here. I like the combination of fixture, process, outdoor, and reused water into a single total water use option, with prescriptive options for each. It allows project teams an easy means of documenting effiicency gains with a more complex option for project teams that are able to model whole building use.

Should I account for both measures even when the projected areas overlap? Another question regarding SSc5. I have a passage under a portion of building for car circulation. Should this included within paving area? Thank you in advance. SSc5 Italy ...

electrical grid emissions or district energy emissions or refrigerant leakage emissions, which I am suggesting be added. We want to strive towards zero emissions buildings. I would rename the paths "Plan for..." or "Design for..." Zero Emissions by 2050.  ...

There are usually very specific, atypical reasons that those two line items would vary in a project. Yours sounds pretty straightforward. While we're here, are you aware of the Pilot Credit available for projects that have all gender restrooms? You can find it in the Pilot Credit catalog.  Log in or register to post comments Maria...

ASAIK it must be included and modeled the same at baseline and proposed buildings, otherwise you haven't filed apropriate explanation why it's more efficient in proposed building (for instance- reheating of pool whater from chiller hot line).  Log in or register to post comments ...
