me if there is a better way. It sure would be helpful if LEED or someone else could add in ASHRAE 170 to this calculator. I bet a lot of people would be willing to pay for it (hint, hint). Log...

check out the v4.1 requirements instead- no more ABCDEF- and the glare control considerations have changed a lot. Always recommend switching this credit out. Log in or register to post comments ...

Hello everyone, I have managed to read trough the comments in the forum and from what i have read i understood that the calculation that indicates the amount of water to be managed on site should be taken from the LEED V2009 SSc6.1 Credit.  Meaning even if a project is setting out to achieve LEED V4.0 we use LEED v2009 calculation method: V.=P*Rv*A/12  My question is, do we then also need to prove that the tanks are going to be emptied after each storm, using storm interval of 3 days as LEED v2009 used? There is not a single line in LEED v4.0 guide about Drawdown rate, about emptying tanks before another...

For a new built office the most suitable rating system seems to be Core and Shell. Besides LEED certification the project should demonstrate ESG compliance. Does ist still make sense to get Core and Shell certification (eg.air quality and recyclable materials will be rated for ESG in the whole building. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks a lot in advance! Germany ...

and it restricts the water before it reaches the showerhead, I would think you could use the lower value. I have had projects have flow restrictors directly on the line and be fine- this happened when the wrong lav...

Hello, I have following question: If in a project there are parking lots in the building at the basement, can this project be eligible for the credit “reduced parking”? Thank you LTc7 Austria ...
