We are involved in the LEED certification of a building that will be used by a gardening company.

EQ Credit 2: Low-emitting materials Furniture evaluation.

Hi,

Full disclosure: I'm not a civil engineer but I have to try to explain the LEED requirements too them.

We have a subfloor product that does not have an emissions certification but does meet VOC requirements.

For store rooms, electrical rooms and IT rooms which are unoccupied spaces and relatively small (around 10 m2); required Fresh Air as per Table 6-1 of ASHRAE 62.1 2007 is less than 10 l/s.

If your project scope is restoring the soils in areas which will then be paved with pervious pavers in lieu of vegitation, can that area still count towards Option 1 for On-Site restoration?

Hi all, does anyone have any reference to USGBC guidance or experience in modeling CHP when it is electricity lead not thermal lead? 

The roof of our project has overhanging eaves. To calculate the footprint of the building, should we consider the perimeter of the walls at ground level or the perimeter of the roof?

Hi everyone, 

1. Our project has a laundry room inside of an office space which is not intended for housekeeping activities, chemical storage, mixing, or disposal.
