Are the Modelling protocols the same under LEED NDv4 and LEED BD&C v4? Can we use the same protocol and results to satisfy the requirements of both rating systems? If so are both rating systems have the same protocol as well on how to model DES and Renewable? And finally can we use Tenant Agreements to satisfy some requirements under Core and Shell for LEED ND as we can do under LEED BD&C? Thank you

Martine,
Yes, the modeling should be the same as both reference ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Modeling for DES are the same as well. In the ND reference guide, Appendix 4 provides the same guidance on energy modeling as provided in the BD+C ref guide under the EA min energy performance prerequisite. Core and Shell guidelines are also the same as under BD+C.
