Hi does anyone have access to the potential LEED Multiple Building guideline for v3 projects, in particular the energy EA-1 ASHRAE requirements?

We have a project at a critical stage and need to confirm the strategy.

We have an office/retail building (75% of energy load) and a smaller residential building (25% of total energy load).

We plan to register them together as a block and submit them as a multiple building application. We also understand that we must register each building individually.

Based on the v2 multi building application guide we would imagine each individual building has to comply with ASHRAE 90.1.

However we are not sure how to approach the credit EA 1 – Optimize Energy Performance.

We assume that as they are new buildings we need to make savings of a minimum of 10% but we need to know if we can combine both buildings to achieve the 10% energy saving target or if each building has to achieve at least 10% saving over ASHRAE90.1 basecase?

Does anyone know if we can safely assume the new multiple building approach will allow for a combined weighting for EA 1 ?

We are having difficulty with the residential building as it is multi-unit small apartments and the developer would prefer simple split AC and to install limited lighting and a facade >60% WWR.
I don't suppose anyone has cost effective recommendations to get this to exceed ASHRAE performance target by 10%?

We are recommending interter splits
ASHRAE 90.1 2007 compliant lighting (its hard to meet let alone exceed these in small apartments)
WWR - 50% with same Sc as ASHRAE
