We've got an 11,000 square foot maintenance garage for trucks, modeling it under LEED and ASHRAE 90.1-2007. This is a tricky space. It has more than 15 BTUH/SFT of heat so according to Table 3.1 it is not a "semiheated" space- it is a "heated" space. In the real world, it is heat only, no cooling. They use radiant floor heat. According to Appendix G Table 3.1 1 B we have to simulate the space as both heated and cooled. We get in a lot of trouble real fast after that. An automotive repair garage requires a huge (41,000 cfm in this case) exhaust fan. This is a gigantic cooling...

of "every little helps", but even if the building sector became net zero and we saved close to 4% if the possible 4%, the industry sector has far more potential with far less effort. At the same time...

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...

happening in your situation?  I am in a similar case and still a little unclear of the LEED interpretation. Is it saying that if i can't show the project meeting net zero for 2-years post occupancy, then the project must purchase 35% of their electricity usage? Is it all or nothing- if you can't prove you are meeting net zero then you must purchase the full 35% as the credit originally requires?   Log...

Marcus Sheffer LEED Fellow 7group / Energy Opportunities LEEDuser Expert 5903 thumbs up December 21, 2015- 10:15 am The Reference Guide explains what you need to do. You will need to model the whole building and place the properer loads on the central plant. The level of detail should accurately reflect the loads on those other floors.
