I’m modelling a school in which a conference room is going to be placed. The baseline shall be System 5 - Packaged VAV with reheat.

In EAc1 Related Credits (pg. 260 of BD&C Book) it says that you can mitigate energy use impacts by using renewable energy: refer to EAC2, and EAC6.

Dear All, We're working on the certification of a restaurant where the kitchen has an outdoor air (OA) rate of 2350 CFM, supply air at 8000 CFM, and an exhaust rate of 3675 CFM.

I am working on a LEED project in Qatar and wanted to query USGBC on using aircooled chillers in the baseline building instead of water cooled chillers.

We are currently building a school and one of our subcontractors asked if ceiling tiles count towards Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1?

In the proposed building there is a semiheated space (climate zone 4, heating power 40 W/m^2, no ventilation, no cooling). In the baseline model shall that space be modeled without HVAC system?

I've seen some discussion about the section G3.1.1 from ASHRAE 90.1-2007, but I still have some doubt about it. I'm working in a project that is a build-to-suit office building with 13 floors.

LEED Interpretation 1600 (see below for Interpretation language), which applies to EAc1, was written for LEED-CS version 2.0.

We have a project that will be 60-70% earth sheltered and Appendix G doesn’t seem to provide guidance on how we might demonstrate the energy savings.
