Hi, I am currently working on an LEED for Commercial Interiors Project and the HVAC Engineer has just heard about some ventilation units with heat recovery which are certified as Passive House Components (by the Passive House Institute) but are not Energy Star Certified. What worries us is that we want to pursue credit EA c1.3 through the prescriptive option and it is requiered that equipment (rated of course) must be Energy Star certified or meet its criteria.
Does some one knows if Passive House components meet Energy Star criteria or how can I get comparative information between them?. Thanks so much!!!!
