thumbs up January 20, 2011- 11:51 pm Kitchen sinks are included—they are used for a lot more than pot filling. If you have a specific pot filling sink I could see excluding that, though. Log in or register...

Tristan Roberts Representative Vermont House of Representatives LEEDuser Expert 11477 thumbs up January 20, 2011- 11:35 pm Kevin, see the example in the discussion above about an aquarium.Also, this discussion on purchases made within the building but not for the building.Keep in mind that these credits are intended to be fairly inclusive—food for example is not about the "operation" of a building but has a lot to do with the impact of its activities.With your examples, I would count the tack cloths and lab materials but not the wood purchases.

to the extent that the original building line is obliterated. How do you define a building then? Smoke compartment? Original footprint? Mechanical zones? By departments? To date, we've been very conservative...

a prerequisite for recycled material. From the on line webinar it was discussed that the Recycled Content points are always being achieved, the market has transformed itself which is good. So just raise...

Gregory Hurst Office Manager Robert Peccia & Associates LEEDuser Basic Member 66 thumbs up January 18, 2011- 11:10 am I consider a pool the same as a pond or lake. If the pool can contain the rainfall event with no discharge to the sanitary sewer, then the runoff coefficient is essentially zero. If, on the other hand, the rain that falls directly into the pool raises the water level sufficientl6y to overflow into the sanitary sewer, the runoff coefficient is 1.0. Many times the pool will have a bit of freeboard before the water level rises enough to overflow and this will allow you to capture...

in a parking lot. This is a game changer as this is much greater light than what the IES would require (typically we can go as low as.2 at the darkest point and we were shooting for an average of 1 fc) for general lighting levels for this type of parking lot and building. The engineers have done some quick calc's and are confident that the LEED credit for light pollution reduction (which requires us...

To attend the requirements of this PC it is necessary to compare the chosen equipment for the project with its similars. We are a little confused about what to compare: in the beginning the requirements states that we should use the rated power, although, some lines after, it says that we should compare the equipments based on their continuous mode electrical energy consumption (stand-by mode). Which of them (rated power or stand-by mode) should we use to compare the chosen equipment with their similar? Regards, Fabiano Ferreira / Juliana Malho Cushman & Wakefield EApc3 ...

We conducted an on-line occupant survey that generated 444 replies (30.8% of FTE). We acheived this rate by offering to put the respondent's name into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate. The GBCI review team rejected our documentation for this credit since they weren't "anonymous" and wants us to perform a revised survey. It is extremely unlikely we will achieve the 30% threshold without this "prize". Any ideas on how we can move forward? IEQc2.1 ...
