The LEED v4 Reference Guide offers three was of determining equipment efficiencies, distribution losses, and distribution pumping energy: Monitored data, engineering analysis, and default values.

Hi everyone, Reading the v4 reference guide, it seems that the default process energy being 25% of total energy cost for the baseline disappeared from the requirements. Have you also noticed it?

In the building there is an electric transformer that transforms the electricity coming from the grid into low voltage energy. The transformer is particularly efficient.

I know that the 90.1 and the LEED Reference Guide generally tell you to use the same utility rate structures for both the Proposed and Baseline models.

1. We registered the project as Campus consisting 3 Buildings. Central Plant Building and the future building is not included in the LEED boundary. 2.

Marcus or anyone who knows the answer, I have a squash facility that is being added on to an existing building. The LEED Boundary does not include the plant. 1) The existing plant serves only one

Dear all, We have a project targeting LEED BD+C: Core & Shell. My question is how to model whole-building energy simulation?

I read in paragraph 9.4.1.2 b. that "an occupant sensor or a timer switch shall be installed (...) in: (...) 6. office spaces up to 76.2m2". Does it mean that for bigger offices (i.e.

In case you have not seen this relatively new guide I would highly recommend it to help with your modeling issues. ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2010 Performance Rating Method Reference Manual h

Hello, We have a speed skating oval project. Should the energy used for ice rink modeled as process load? We think this will be the major energy consumption.
