In a multiple building project we have 100 identical staff housing units that need to comply with AHRAE for EAP2. Must we test each and every building and can we do a % of them?

This is a question from a non-energy modeler looking for some guidance on base case vs. design case for a LEED energy model that a consultant is working on. The project is a school. Energy...

Dear All,

I want to model a school project with 3 unconditioned basement floors hosting a car park.

Do we really need to draw these spaces in the 3D model of the simulation, or can...

We have a project that received a large grant from the state to put on Solar panels. Energy costs are relatively low, so while our building is preforming quite well in energy savings, the Cost...

I am working on a project with a limited site. The proposed building (six story hotel) has a distinct size that only fits on the site one way. How should I address Criteria 1.3: Building...

We have modelled our building which is equipped with hydronic heating and natural ventilation (no cooling) according to App D of the Advanced Energy Modelling Guide v2.0. So we modelled an...

We have documented EA prereq 2. We are using LEED NC v 2009 and we are using form version 4. We have filled in all the required information with the exception of the Target Finder. The...

It's clear from the credit language and LEED Online form that California Title 24-2005 Part 6 can be used in place of ASHRAE 90.1-2007 as a baseline when creating an energy model. However, it is...

If a project is being demolished but the slab and some columns are being kept, would that be considered a major renovation since we are not given the option of redesigning the orientation of the...

Dear alll,

From a preliminary review, we received a comment regarding the Energy Modeling saying that the slab on grade floor of the proposed should be modeled using a F-factor, and not...
