Hello all! We are working on a project that will be two buildings, used for warehouses. The buildings are really close to each other and will share some systems and structures, such as the parking lots. Can we include them both in the same LEED certification project as one? MPR2 ...

Our site is also not homogenous. Previously developed land (asphalt parking lot) makes ~22% of the LEED project Site. Can we...

I am currently training and researching in order to become involved in the M&V process for various new construction buildings within the near future. The area I am having a particular difficult time finding reference material for is determining meter locations. I have found some best practice guides and have perused the ASHRAE guideline 14 book, as well as read a significant amount of IPMVP volume III. I am having difficulty finding anything with specific reference on how to determine submetering locations based off of a single line diagram, or other something similar. If anyone might have...

They specifically reference sterilizers under the Benefits and Issues to Consider section of the credit. They want you to not run cooling water into the drain line and then dump it (once through)....
