Energy modeling for LEED BD+C: Core & Shell

NC-v4 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
posted by Hanh Truong on Jun 15, 2017, 6:31 am

Dear all,

We have a project targeting LEED BD+C: Core & Shell. My question is how to model whole-building energy simulation? Do we need to take into account the energy consumption of...

Baseline system selection

NC-v4 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
posted by Gaston Michaud on Jul 26, 2017, 7:38 pm

Hello everyone,
We are working with a building that has a complicated geometry, and the selection of the baseline system is not that evident. We are able to identify 5 main floors, but it...

occupancy sensor in big offices

NC-v4 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
posted by Francesco Passerini on Jul 20, 2017, 5:44 am

I read in paragraph 9.4.1.2 b. that "an occupant sensor or a timer switch shall be installed (...) in: (...) 6. office spaces up to 76.2m2".
Does it mean that for bigger offices (i.e. 100m2...

Energy Model for Ice Rink

NC-v4 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
posted by Shenhao Li on Jul 5, 2017, 9:50 am

Hello,

We have a speed skating oval project. Should the energy used for ice rink modeled as process load? We think this will be the major energy consumption. Can we consider the energy...

Parametric Rotation Runs for Baseline model of Existing Building

NC-v4 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
posted by Edgar Arevalo on Jun 6, 2017, 1:31 pm

Since the energy model is based off of an existing building. Do I still need to perform parametric rotational runs (0 deg, 90 deg, 180 deg, and 270 deg) for a baseline model based on the...

Hi,

I'm working on a pre-assessment for a project in Morocco and would like to see the minimum wall insulation.
I checked in ASHRAE 90.1-2010 but Morocco is not listed in Table B3...
