energy and water usage, which is a requirement of any LEED certification anyway, the other elements of EB don't produce actionable data that's meaningful to the bottom line operations of the real...

USGBC raised the bar, but then lowered it again? The bottom line is that LEED v4 is an unworkable standard for most building owners and facility managers, significantly raising costs for LEED certification without adding any additional benefits. Don't you think we can expect to see another extension in 2016 or a significant modification to the standard? ...

Good day I want to consult in relation to a project in a lot of 10 hectares (about 25 acres) with a perimeter of 1377 m (about 4500 ft). One of the longer sides of the perimeter has input waters from higher ground. Altimetry due to the other three sides, is output water from the batch of the project. You may meet the requirement of the Plan taking into account the following edge care: 1. compacted earth dike on the side of greater height, to prevent entry of water from other lots, 2. Perimeter Control with silt fence on the other three sides Or they need to have more perimeter control...

Dear All, I am requesting help on the energy modeling protocol for a building both connected to a stand-alone plant and a district energy system. I read a lot of posts on the forum before posting but I didn’t find an answer matching my project. Description: The project consists of building with a total area of around 500 000 sf, treated as a whole in Core and Shell v.2009. The building includes two different activities: office Spaces (200 000 sf) and retail activities (around 300 000 sf). Office spaces will be modelled as designed. The HVAC systems are not known for retail spaces (but the heating...

worksheet being protected in the BDC MR Calculator. You can add lines at the bottom by clicking the Add Material button or copy or insert lines elsewhere by copying and pasting a row. After we talked, I learned you were using the HC BDC Calculator from 2013 and it indeed does not let you add lines except by using the Add Material button, which puts the new line at the bottom. That is frustrating...

In baseline, you need to use system 10 or 11 for those heating only space. You only needs to match the OA (Typically is zero since heating only spaces usually are not occupied). Fan power is calculated based on 0.3 W/cfm as in system 1 fan power.

they are appropriate or inappropriate for how they'll be used? That said, if they are considered public, the water calculations will allow for a lot less water (particularly on the lav), which would be your worst...
