Hi Folks, I am the poor slob (AKA apprentice) tasked with sorting out the credit our local electrical utility will allow for a lighting project of a commercial bldg outside parking lot. The utility pays proportional to the power savings relative to the 2017 ASHRAE recommended LPD and the lot size Is there a difference between LPD and LPA? Is LPA = LPD *area? I understand the ASHRAE 90.1 LPA as a power density standard (but really, an attempt to set an efficiency standard), but I keep circling around to the idea that I most know the *minimum* lighting requirement in terms of illumination or else...

In order to correctly report it, I broke down each product into 2 line items: the % PEFC COC certified and then the remainder % PEFC due diligence, which is a legal wood but not COC.

We are a manufacturer of rolling aluminum shutters designed for security, crowd control, and insulation. We are starting to get our product spec'd on large retail projects across US and Canada and are started to get lots of questions about our product and the LEED points it provides. We are new to this and need to learn more about it so that we can be knowledgable on the subject when speaking to clients. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about learning more? It all seems like greek to me to be honest and we need to learn more! Does USGBC offer any time of training or something similar? Lmk,...
