My understanding is that an extra Regional Priority Credit can be earned on international projects here. Does anyone have any details to the actions required to get this RPC point?

The LEED´s definition of VOC should not be exclude the exempt compounds from the VOC content. However, according to the SCAQMD rules 1113 and 1168, the exempt compounds must be calculated.

I'm working on a project located in high density urban area which means 100% of the site can be built in the ground floor. How do i have to calculate 25% in this case?

Greenhouse

Schools-2009 EAc1:Optimize Energy Performance
posted by  Lisa Logan  on 

Client is adding greenhouse to the school project - sort of late in the game. Does this space get included in our energy calcs? I am assuming yes and that there is no way around it.
