NC-2009 EAc1:Optimize Energy Performance

LPD Method for the Baseline Energy Model.

Do I have to chose one categorization procedure (Building Area or Space by Space Method) to determine the lighting power density (LPD) in the Baseline Energy Model? My building is Mixed-Use so I have used (MultiFamily LPD 0.7) for the residential units and used (Space by Space Method) for the rest of the building spaces as Gym, Corridors, Store rooms, etc. Do I need to change it or it might be accepted like that?

In general you must choose one method and apply it to the entire building. For the residential portion you should follow the guidance in this document: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/bldrs_lenders_raters/downloads/mfhr/ENERGY_STAR_MFHR_Simulation_Guidelines_V1.0.pdf?0607-7fd8
