My project has large floor to ceiling windows but the cube height is 46". Someone with an eye level of 42" can see sky, clouds, trees and hilltops above the 46" high cube walls. But their line of sight is not horizontal. Is the 46" cube height a fatal flaw or do we have a chance at this credit? Thx IEQc2.4 ...

Jason Franken Sustainability Professional LEEDuser Expert 608 thumbs up November 12, 2012- 3:02 pm Elizabeth, if the mini-candelabras are zero-mercury lamps, why are you trying to find replacements? Is the focus on finding an option that uses less energy?

David Posada Integrated Design & LEED Specialist SERA Architects LEEDuser Expert 1980 thumbs up November 19, 2012- 8:16 pm If the LEED project boundary is a conference center open to the public then we probably can't count the school buses as a second line, since as you point out, they aren't available to the public users of the LEED certifying project. Is that the case? Log...

Marcus Sheffer LEED Fellow 7group / Energy Opportunities LEEDuser Expert 5903 thumbs up November 19, 2012- 12:39 pm Regarding the economizers that sounds correct. See 11.3.2(j) which seems to allow the possibility of secondary system types.

Dear all, We have a facility with lots of process areas having pressurization and code-related minimum circulation rates. As a result, we say that all the process areas HVAC system baseline switch from system 7 to system 3. But also, the administrative part of this project has thermal loads that differ significantly from the rest of the project, therefore, they should also switch from system 7 to system 3. At the end of listing the applicable exceptions, I happen to have a baseline project, which is originally system 7, entirely switched in system 3. Although this is quite positive from the point...
