I am modeling a new building(Laboratory/office) on a university campus following LEED v4 Option 1, Whole Building Energy Simulation. New Building is 3 story and 69,500 sq.ft .

Is there any new guidance or published changes for modeling district energy loops in LEED v4?

We are building an addition to an existing building that has a central plant that is outside of our LEED boundary. However, we also have a contract to improve the performance of the central plant.

Hi Markus, Thanks for your reply. I've been trying to undestand the explanation of 90.1-2013 User's Manual, page G-35.

We are designing a research and development facility for an equipment manufacturer and trying to pursue LEED certification for the facility.

Thank you USGBC for Energy Performance Calculator. I remember the days before...where you had to make your own more or less whilst fumbling through projects.

Does anyone know if either prereq EA - Minimum Energy Performance, or the Optimize Energy Performance credit need a third party review as it did under the CaGBC's LEED 2009?

My question is regarding the EAp2 and EAc3, our project consists of a palm oil manufacturing facility.

Is there any special considerations for a project registered (v2.2) and designed 10 years ago is now being constructed. V2.2 and v2009 have expired so we need to register it for v4.

Hello everyone, We are working with a building that has a complicated geometry, and the selection of the baseline system is not that evident.
