for your answer, but no, unfortunately I have only a lot of CO2 sensors. The HVAC engineer discarded the option of flow meters because of the constant flow from the AHUs and the 30%+ calculated rate...

Since the new project is on the same site as the previous project, they just increased the required parking spots by (2). The lot that is adjacent to this building was already...

Tristan Roberts Representative Vermont House of Representatives LEEDuser Expert 11477 thumbs up August 29, 2010- 10:11 pm I'm not sure I agree with your premise. A lot of the loss in going from source to site energy is in transmission inefficiencies.Do you have any data on this?

He has a letter from the power company estimating the transmission losses. However, there should be no generation losses. I think he has a valid point. When Energy Star...

Let us know if you hear anything official on this. Thanks, Shannon Log in or register to post comments ...

Amy Rider Sustainability Manager KEMA Services LEEDuser Basic Member 161 thumbs up August 25, 2010- 1:59 pm 1. Drainage basins don't typically remove TSS by themselves. For the filters you'll need to confirm the TSS removal rates with the manufacturer and get documentation from them showing the infield performance data. 2. I don't know of any table that correlates filter mesh with TSS removal rates. I think there a lot of factors that come into play outside of just the mesh size. Again the best bet is to contact the manufacturers as they generally conduct their own tests. 3. You...
