FAQs about EAp2 :

Can SHGC be higher in the proposed than in the baseline model?

Our project has a large process load—75%. Despite our efforts to make an efficient HVAC design, the cost savings are minimal. What can we do to earn this prerequisite and be eligible for LEED certification? Is there any flexibility in how we model the p

Do I need to justify the electrical and fuel rates I am using in my model?

Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?

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

Can I claim exterior lighting savings for canopy lighting even though a baseline model cannot include shading elements?

The project is built on a site with existing exterior lighting installed. How should this be accounted for?

Can mezzanines open to floors below be excluded from the energy model?

How do I provide a zip code for an international location?

For a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the climate zone?

For a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the Target Finder score?

Do hotel rooms need automatic light shut-off control?

How commonly are the 90.1 mandatory compliance forms submitted as part of EAp2/EAc1?

The Section 9 space-by-space method does not include residential space types. What should I use?

Can the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) be used to energy model for LEED?

Is it acceptable to model a split-type AC with inverter technology compressor as a heat pump, like modeling VRF?

Can the Trace 700 'LEED Energy Performance Summary Report' by uploaded to LEED Online in lieu of the Section 1.4 tables spreadsheet?

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?

Which baseline HVAC system do I use if my building has no heating or air conditioning?

For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?

Quick Question on filling out this summary chart: Within the LEED BD&C v.2009 reference manual (page 279) they indicate a very generic breakdown of building spaces based on occupancy types - as opposed to a detailed breakdown of actual individual spaces. I'm involved with a large school project with hundreds of various spaces - all of which could be summarized in probably 15 different space classifications (i.e. classrooms, office, conference, laboratory, lobby, etc). So my question is: Is the GBCI looking for a generalized breakdown of the building or do they want a detailed description of every space?

Generalized by space classification!
