I am going to model a building that is connected with a district heating/cooling system.

Two issues regarding the building area method. 1.

We have some on-street parking, and a multistorey car park in our site. How do we calculate the number of preferred parking spaces for carpool or shared-use vehicles?

Hi all, we would know if it's possible to use the condensate water from air-treatment in HVAC systems for irrigation to meet the intent of WE c1. Do you know it? Thanks.

In the building that I’m modeling some parts were existing prior to the project, some parts are new.

In DesignBuilder for the daylight simulation you have to impose a value for the parameter "margin", which is defined in the following way: Enter the margin (in m or ft) around the zone boundaries w

Hi all, I need to model in Energy Plus several "Air - Water Heat Pumps": heat pumps that use air as energy source and water as fluid for conditioning.

Is the monitoring of mechanical ventilation always mandatory or do exceptions exist? Regards

Is indoor irrigation not considered in this credit? If it isn't, could I consider it in the section "Innovation", since, in the project I'm considering, collected rainwater is used?

Table 6.4 of ASHRAE 60.1-2010 states that parking garages that don't have walls that are at least 50% open to the outside shall have mechanical air extraction (exhaust ventilation).
