Are there any plans to do the same sort of thing with EAp2? The problem areas here are things like NFRC 100,200,300,400 measurement protocols (for everything from "leakiness" of doors to visible light transmittance of windows). Some things are easy to prove equivalency, others not so easy.

Not yet, but they did say they are working on it and it is about time. These issues have been very time consuming and cost prohibitive for no good reason. It would be nice if the USGBC starts rethinking it's requirement for cooling in a building. If I even have an IT closet in the building or a big conference room with cooling I have to consider the whole building to be cooled even though it is not and never will be. There are a lot of things under EA P2, which I think need to be critical revisit with an international view of building practice.

Hello, I know this is an old post but has the USGBC found local equivalencies for the NFRC 100,200,300 & 400 procedures for International / European projects? regards, Ian
