The latest versions of ASHRAE-55 have a lot of guidance on how to implement these effectively. Furthermore, there really needs to be a requirement to simulate indoor radiant temperatures in order to comply...

are ignored carries a lot of weight.  The optional LEED acoustic credits in v4 are more difficult to navigate and achieve but these could have been improved and clarified rather than totally replacing them...

and leak detection requirements for products installed.  For example does the leak detection sensor data in real time vs user interface? Current closed by water vs Pressure loss over time in static line? Does it have detect general vicinity of leak is vs just somewhere in the plumbing line? For example water metering an estimated amount based on activations and time duration vs. measured consumption  Log...

I think the Triple Bottom Line assessment (i.e. quantifying the value/impact of the design) would be beneficial in this category for 3 reasosn: Alignment with USGBC's Strategic Plan: Placing the ESG-Informed Design credit within the Integrative Process category would better align with the USGBC's strategic objectives, fostering a more cohesive approach to sustainability in building design and construction. Empowerment of Design Teams: By incorporating the ESG-Informed Design credit into the Integrative Process category, design teams would be equipped with the tools necessary to address first-cost...

to ventilation rates from 62.1 (Table 6.1, min OAR for dwelling units)? Is there an official guidance from GBCI that we can use 62.2 instead of 62.1? Thanks a lot (this is pretty urgent...) Kind regards, Anne Log...

I suggest that the current pilot credits for triple bottom line analysis i.e. "Informing Design Using Triple Bottom Line Analysis" and “Informing Design by Major Credit Category Using Triple Bottom Line Analysis” become a full permanent credit that can be used to achieve points under Project Priorities. There are hundreds of examples of the credits being used and a great deal...

emily reese moody Sustainability Director, Certifications & Compliance Jacobs LEEDuser Expert 475 thumbs up May 11, 2024- 5:23 pm Hi Alexia, Can you provide some more info on which lines in the form and tabs you're trying to change? If your user groups are already separate tabs, you shouldn't need to adjust any uses per day- the calculator already knows what they expect/want to be used for frequency.

For instance:-- At constrution review at least 60 % of the project’s gross floor area must be complete- i think it would be impossible in your case since this "completeness" includes fit-out. -- You need to provide energy modelling "as build" including HVAC equipment that must be installed at tennant zones.-- At WE prerequisite you also need to include...
