CI-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

LEED V4 - TENANT SPACE ENERGY MODELING

Hi, Regarding the Energy Performance Calgulator that should be used instead of Table 1.4, my questions are: 1. To simulate a tenant space energy efficiency, do we have to introduce the whole building characteristics, or is it enough to include just the Tenant Space scope of work?. 2. If it is so, do we have to indicate the Primary HVAC System corresponding to the whole building or just the one corresponding to the Tenant Space Scope of work, which would be an excpetion? Thank you,

You do not need to do an energy simulation to demonstrate compliance with this prerequisite. You only need to demonstrate compliance related to the requirements for the systems in your scope of work.

Hi Marcus, As I understand from the Reference Guide for Interior Design and Construction - V4, one of the options to comply with the Prerequisite is the Tenant-Level Energy Simulation. This is the Option that the Owner has asked for, and he is also interested in achieving EA_c1 with the máximum possible points. So I have no chance, I have to do the energy simulation at last....

I missed your reference to v4 since this is a LEED 2009 forum. You should probably post your question to the v4 forum. To answer, yes you have to do a model for v4. In order to do so you will need to model some of the whole building characteristics which will vary depending on the project. Exactly what you model will depend on many factors.

Thank you Marus, I will post my question to the V4 fórum
