(Transients)". The reviewer then requested confirmation. If the facility is an office building without any built-out suites, why would they question having zero transients when LEED's default value for office transients is zero? Perhaps they just want to confirm? Log in or register to post comments Tristan Roberts Representative Vermont House of Representatives LEEDuser Expert 11477 thumbs up May 5, 2010- 12:10 pm...

3:16 pm Breana, I don't think USGBC is currently devoting a lot of resources to improving the older LEED Online v2 (the one you're using here). I am surprised that they have forms for Schools...

controls are, in some cases, zero (even with some 4-stroke engines). Also, if you take passenger MPG into account, the mileage can be worse than cars. Log in or register to post comments Tanmay Tathagat...

a LEED-certified building. At my previous firm, that was consistently presented to clients as being anywhere from $120k to $200k just to cover the documentation for the project, and it was treated as a separate line item from the design fee. I know a lot of architects who treat it like that. I had a LEED for Schools project that went through a very painful cost-cutting exercise which not only eliminated the LEED...

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...

Also, if the chiller equipment must be downstream and included in the model what do you use for the base line? Can you use standard efficiency air cooled equipment? Thanks in advance for any assistance!...

Jonathan, where are you coming from on this? Is this a project question, or are you with an elevator company? As a rule LEED does not award points for specific technologies, whether they be energy-saving elevators or water-saving Living Machines. LEED awards points for the goal, i.e. saving of energy or water. Those are covered by credits, with lots of points available. What makes you think elevators are excluded from that? What do you mean by the new version? LEED ...

hardware and software, I'm spending a lot of time just getting LEED Online working for everyone. In an ideal world, everyone has IE 8, Flash, and Windows all up to date. In reality,...
