CS-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hi, I'm doing a LEED CS 2009 PRE-certification.
My question is:
In the "Upload L-4" section, which states:
Provide a detailed narrative describing the intended credit approach, including energy efficiency measures that will be incorporated intothe project and the anticipated energy savings.
What kind of documentation do I have to upload in detail?
Thank you very much

Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

You should provide a narrative that includes a list of proposed energy conservation measures. In the pre-cert, you apply for a specific level of energy savings. You should explain why you think that level will be achieved. You might include the basis of design for the project, or any preliminary model results, although those items aren't strictly necessary.
