Do I model the two buildings as one building? If I did two seperate models I am not sure how I would show this on the LEED Credit...

Appendix G (Table 3.1) states that lighting power for building facades has to be modeled in the energy simulation. However, it is not clear if landscape lighting should also be taken into account...

I am going to be modeling a building that plans on buying landfill gas to burn in boilers which will contribute to EAc2.

I know I can double-dip on EAc1 and EAc2, so do I need to include...

I am in the process of submitting the LEED templates (2009 NC) for EAp2/EAc1.

The building in question has been modeled using Energy Pro and has calculated a baseline virtual energy rate...

We have a project that is a parking garage...

Hi,

We've only done the mechanical portion for this project but the client assigned to us the EAc1 credits. So, we're just coordinating whatever electrical information we need to complete...

I am working on a lab building near the coast where seawater is pumped into the building for use by researchers. The system gets complex, but essentially we are controlling these large "raw"...

I am working on a building that supplies process cooling water (PCW) to lab spaces. The PCW rejects its heat through a heat exchanger to the chilled water system from a district energy plant....

I am working on the LEED Certification of a 23,000sq.ft. concrete "business continuity" dome. It is literally a concrete dome. This building type was selected because it is resilient to hurricane...

Question:
Does the HVAC system for the baseline have to be the same type as the proposed design HVAC equipment?
(ie. could you use a...
