Can someone tell me how difficult this modeling software is to use, and how long would it take an engineer who isn’t already familiar with it to get up to speed? Since the engineer on our LEED...

The equipment capacities for the baseline building design shall be based on sizing runs for each orientation (see G3.1.2.2 and G3.1.2.2.1). I am simulating in an Italian locality and I’m using...

In EAc1 Related Credits (pg. 260 of BD&C Book) it says that you can mitigate energy use impacts by using...

If I submit EAc1 in my design review and it gets sent back as likely approved, can I still have the ability to change some things before I submit again for Construction Review?

We are working on a project with a modelled energy savings of 47% when comparing BTU/sf/yr. When we calculate it as LEED requires (in terms of dollars) our building energy efficiency drops to 22...

Hello all,

I'm working on a project for an owner who operates their own hydropower dam. It's an older facility and it the electricity it produces registers as basically carbon neutral....

If we use option 2 for EAp2 can we use option 3 for EAc1 or do we need to be consistant throughout?

If...

Hi all,

We are modeling a new construction hospital whose cooling loads are met by 3 onsite 1350 ton chillers. A fourth ‘future’ 1350 ton chiller is added to this plant to provide...

No CHP. I know there have been discussions elsewhere on this forum re: process loads, but our problem seems unique to the building type... must we treat secondary plant equipment for heat rejection...
