Data Centers baseline
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Gustav Alfaro on
Hi to all: We are modeling a data center under LEED v2009, but we need to show savings in the process loads (servers, UPS and transformers) since the achieved savings in HVAC and lighting systems
Complicated CHW distribution & pump energy
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Charline SEYTIER on
We are facing a complicated CHW distribution in one of our energy model, we have 2 chillers feeding a constant flow primary loop that serve heat exchangers. From the heat exchangers start several
PI form 2 vs Energy Simulation Floor Area
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Leandro Silva on
We have a conflict between the LEED floor area which clearly excludes underground parking (in our case) and the area of the energy simulation.
Hotel System 2 Reheat
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Michael Angell on
I am currently modeling a hotel with less than 20,000sqft (specifically 19720) of non-residential space.
Exterior building lighting power- exceptions
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Rosana Correa on
Hi, I am simulating a petrol station where the advertising has built-in lighting that works at night. We assumed that this is 9.4.5 exception B.
Unconditioned building envelope

Hi, I have a doubt on how to model unconditioned spaces envelope.
Common schedule for VAV zones with differing occupancies?
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Matt Scott on
What's the proper methodology for the following situation? Let's say I'm modeling a building that qualifies for a System #5 VAV baseline system and the four different spaces have different operati

Dear Forum I am busy with a LEED project for a manufactruing facility that has a combination of building HVAC systems and Manufucturing HVAC systems.
G3.1.13 Modeling Limitations
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Matt Scott on
Under G3.1.13 "Modeling Limitations to the Simulation Program", it says to substitute a thermodynamically similar component model when the software can't explicitly model a component.
Process Energy Savings, Alternative Compliance Path
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Santiago Rodriguez on
Dear forum, We are working with an industrial plant that is seeking to obtain the LEED Certification.
