I imagine the corridors in question are general circulation corridors though, so that would be of no help. I'm not sure whether the 10 cfm per person method (with zero people in the corridor) would fly...

Hi, I have read the LEED requirements and comments regarding the exclusion of things like glass and aluminum scrap that are reincorporated into the same manufacturing process. However, I am unclear if this exception applies to a project I am currently working on. I am working with a client whose family owns and operates a granite countertop fabrication shop. The process currently generates a lot of scrap pieces...

Would the same be true for a view of a parking lot where people are getting out of their cars and walking towards a building? Even though this doesn't seem like the most glamorous view of human activity, based on your answer above I presume it will be 'yes'? Log in or register to post comments TODD REED...

occupied spaces. Therefore, we have not provided views for "all other spaces". Basically, for EQc8.2 purposes, we have a building that has zero regularly occupied spaces and consequently...

the client has decided to go forward with the project. Are the three buildings connected in any way?. Are they all separately metered? I really don't hold out a lot of hope that you will get this project...

not qualify for an innovation point. The rule is that a comprehensive approach is required. See the guidance above. So for example, a comprehensive construction waste reduction strategy along the lines of LEED...

Eliot Allen LEED AP-ND, Principal Criterion Planners LEEDuser Expert 303 thumbs up October 10, 2013- 4:41 pm Karyn, yes, it sounds like you've got it right. Assuming all the buildings are either non-residential, mixed-use, or multi-family residential four stories or more, the weighted average equals each building's percent water reduction multiplied by its percent of total floor area, then summed. For example, a hypothetical Bldg 1 of 10,000 sq ft with 30% water reduction, Bldg 2 of 5,000 sq ft with 20% reduction, and Bldg 3 of 5,000 sq ft with zero reduction, would have a weighted average...

Our project is a new classroom building on an existing campus. The campus has a large existing parking lot which is adjacent to our project and which will serve the occupants of our building and other buildings on campus. It is not within our LEED project boundary. Our project will be adding 61 new parking spaces, which are within our LEED boundary. Our team plans to designate 4 preferred spaces for LEV/FEV parking as part of the additional parking that we are adding. We plan to ignore the existing parking lot. My question- are we meeting the intent since we are designating 5% of the new parking...

I am working on a project where the base line system is a packaged VAV with reheat. ASHRAE 90.1 specify the packaged efficiency as 9.8 EER including the compressor heat rejection and fans. The question I am having is that if we are taking credit for the fan power pressure drops adjustment in the system in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1 are we allowed to change the packaged efficiency by including the fan credit allowance or no?
