Combined or separate submeters

CI-2009 EAc3:Measurement and Verification
posted by  Mike D  on 

Does the credit require separate submeters for each equipment or can those be combined? Our project design includes a submeter that is for both the hot water and HAVC system combined.

posted by  Jeremy Poling  on 

It was asked earlier and doesn't appear to have an answer: is there a published definition of a "transit ride" for the purposes of this credit and exemplary performance?

Hi. The credit language states that the number of sampling locations will depend on the size of the building and the number of ventilation systems.

parking lot shaded by low-SRI building

The parking lot is shaded by the building for much of the measured time, but the building is not "an architectural device(s) or structure(s) that have a SRI of at least 29".

We have a rooftop terrace exclusively for employees! Do we have to include the terrace in the roof area or it can be deducted?

Historic Building Limitations

posted by  Todd Bundren  on 

Has anyone been successful with a variance on the 10'-0" walk off-matt rule based on the limitations of a historic building? My building has an 8'-0" vestibule at the 2 main entrances.

Purchasing Wood prior to Obtaining CoC Certificate

posted by  Maya Karkour  on 

Hello, Can we count FSC wood products if their supplier obtained the CoC certificate after selling them to the project contractor? In other words, the Contractor purchased wood several months ago

This is my first time doing the LEED paperwork. I'm not sure I'm using all the correct fixtures while filling out prereq 1. Currenly I only have water closets and lavs filled out.
