FAQs about EAp2 :

Do the required savings for this prerequisite (and credit) need to come only from building energy, or also process loads?

Our project doesn't have enough energy savings to earn the prerequisite. Can we get there by incorporating onsite renewables?

Our proposed design has insulation R-values that are below those prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Can we still meet the prerequisite?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Shading from Adjacent buildings

Greetings, When modeling Proposed model for LEED and there are shadings from adjacent buildings in it, should these shading be applied also to the Baseline model or they should be omitted like the other external devices such as overhangs, vertical fins, etc. Thanks

They are applied identically to both models. See Table G3.1-14(a).

Thanks for the reply Markus, Actually my question is for a project registered for LEED CS v2009 and following ASHRAE 2007. Sorry of placing this question upon LEEDv4 section. While reading the discussions, I forgot to change rating system to which my question referred.

Under 2007 you are not required to model adjacent buildings. In some cases for the accuracy of the model it is a very good idea to model adjacent buildings. If you do so they must be modeled identically in both.
