Julie Hendricks President Sage Building Revival LEEDuser Premium Member 163 thumbs up September 29, 2010- 12:09 pm Hi Reid, Yes, it's previously developed. The C&S Glossary defines "Previously Developed" as sites that "once had buildings, roadways, parking lots, or were graded or otherwise altered by direct human activities." In the past, I've provided an aerial image of the existing site, or a Phase II environmental assessment, to show that the site is previously graded. Log in or register to post comments ...

Karen Blust Green Building Consultant The Cadmus Group LEEDuser Basic Member 124 thumbs up August 30, 2010- 6:20 pm Under the Fixture Family column, simply select the fixture type from the drop down menu for each line item.

Michael Tillou Director of Energy Services Cannon Design LEEDuser Basic Member 52 thumbs up September 27, 2010- 10:12 pm A lot of thoughts going on in your post but I'll try to answer the question I think your asking. When you create a baseline system using Appendix G you only use one of the eight baseline system types specified. There is not a DOAS- CV FCU baseline system so you never have to worry about this as the baseline condition. Your baseline system will be either a CV single zone or a VAV multi-zone and in either case it is assumed that return air goes back to the AHU rather than...

within the animal space, the recognition that vivariums are often designed for 15 air changes is not applied to the LEED model. The base LEED model would reflect 10 air changes as well, resulting in a zero...

and use a budget calculation method-- typically there is relatively little used, and the VOCs can all be balanced out with one low- VOC interior paint that you use a lot of. Many of my peers don't...

parking lots would not need to be counted in parking capacity calculations, as this credit seeks to prevent the use of private cars (as opposed to school bus). But from your answer above, I understand...

Tristan Roberts Representative Vermont House of Representatives LEEDuser Expert 11477 thumbs up September 21, 2010- 6:45 pm "ENERGY STAR does not label clothes dryers because there is little difference in energy use among models." (link)I would look for the most efficient washer option that's in your price range, and pair it up with the same company's dryer, assuming they offer a stackable option. (Or better yet, skip the dryer and use a rack or clothesline.) A good front-loading washer will remove a lot of water from the clothes, making them dry faster. Log in or register to post...
