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?

We would like to know if Design builder is approved for leed credits EAp2 and EAc2. We understand that it is more versatile than eQuest. any thoughts? Thanks!

DB uses EnergyPlus which qualifies under Appendix G. EP can certainly model more potential situations than eQUEST without having to use a work around. We use it when eQUEST just can't model a particular strategy.
