Cleaning Product Question

EBOM-2009 IEQc3.3:Green Cleaning—Purchase of Sustainable Cleaning Products and Materials
posted by  Maria Vasapollo  on 

The cleaning product being used is readily biodegradable and met credits towards LEED EBOM 2008. But we're going for certification under LEED EBOM 2009? Does the product still qualify?

Our project team shows a recent update (Aug 11, 2011) requiring the purchase of green power to account for the "building" not the tenant space.

Sampling Methods

posted by  American University  on 

I see that we need to collect responses from a "representative" sample of building occupants making up at least 30% of the total occupants.

Continuous insulation on the inside of the wall?

NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance
posted by  David Sheridan  on 

Our state energy code is based on ASHRAE 90.1-2004, which I believe does not require ci for exterior walls. ASHRAE 90.1-2007 requires R-3.8 ci for nonresidential walls.

posted by  Ricardo Sobral  on 

Does anybody know if electric fire pumps are exempted from energy efficiency requirements? That is, from ASHRAE 90.1 section 10.4 minimum efficiency requirements for electrical motors.

Calculating FTEs
posted by  Daniela Castro Salgado  on 

Would it be correct to use the "Warehouse, storage" gross square feet per occupant in the Reference Guide for mechanical spaces, storage rooms, loading areas and restrooms of a CS building?
