Expert 440 thumbs up December 14, 2012- 1:40 pm In my opinion, twice the head height and/or the 60 or 63 degree line are not used to establish the daylight zone.

LEED project boundary lines that “slice” through party walls must not pass through any MEP service infrastructure. Exceptions include buildings served by a common or shared chiller plant or heating water, or steam supply pipes (i.e., not air ducts), and only if the thermal energy serving the structure to be separated is sub-metered.

The building that we want to certificate is being renovated and it is divided in two parts, one (offices) is going to be certificated LEED, the other one (factory) isn’t, although both are being altered. Would the use...

Ellen Mitchell LEEDuser Basic Member 331 thumbs up March 4, 2013- 10:06 am The November 2011 addenda that is referenced in the above FAQs defines prevously developed sites as those that are altered by paving, construction, and/or land use that would typically have required regulatory permitting to have been initiated. Previously developed land includes a platted lot on which a building was constructed if the lot is no more than 1 acre; previous development on lots larger than 1 acre is defined as the development footprint and land alterations associated with the footprint. Land that is not previously...

Dear community, I would like clarifications about the scope covered by the section 10-4 of the ashrae 90.1-2007: in an industrial project, there may be lots of electric motors related to the industrial process.
