Hello, we have recently realized that our project gross area was one number, and the energy model done by our engineer did not include an atrium space in the middle of the project (project is on 3r

I am researching option 1 for Advanced building requirements. We are working in a 1 story industrial park and are installing new 10 ton and below DX RTUs.

We have 4 person meeting rooms that are typically used for less than an hour at a time, yet during our GBCI audit a comment was made that these spaces need to be controlled individually.

Our engineer used the net SF for this calculation instead of the gross SF which matches the PI forms. I know this will be a red flag, but does anyone know if this will be acceptable?

To earn 5 points using Option 1: Equipment Efficiency, systems must comply with the efficiency requirements outlined in the Core Performance Guide.

I am currently involved in a 200,000SF LEED-CI 2009 project in California. To achieve credit EAc1.3, can title 24-2008 be used in lieu of ASHRAE 90.1-2007? Any advice will be appreciated.

Does anyone knows if ASHRAE 55 is really a requirement for the credit?

I recently completed a CI in an old building with a constant volume Interior and console heat pumps on the perimeter.

Our client is occupying the 8th floor of a G+8 building. The central plant is a combination of Air cooled and water cooled chillers.
