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?

can i provide the following details instead of v4_Minimum Energy Performance Calculator_v05

1.filled LEED online credit form

No. What you propose will not provide the information needed to effectively review the models and the results. The older 1.4 Table is not based on 90.1-2010. The new credit form does not include a table to compare the modeling results. All of the information was consolidated in the MEPC and its completion is required along with summary input and output reports from the modeling software.

I found disabling the automatic calculation option in excel helps speed the process when filling out some of the leed excel tables. Just have to turn it back on after, or calculate as you need to.

Hi all, I have the same question here but in 2022 and particularly related to IESVE BPRM report. Do I need still to fill in the Min Energy Performance Calculation sheets for V4, when have access with IESVE to produce BPRM and other forms of reports? I feel it is just doubling the work here. Best wishes, Ehab Foda

Yes, you need to submit the MEPC and the IESVE BPRM report. Often if the reviewer is more accustomed to Trace or eQuest, they will ask for screen shots of more detailed inputs in the review comments.

I might also note that there is a great deal of information asked for in the MEPC that is not included in the IESVE reporting. It would be great if each piece of modeling software provided exactely what is needed to review a model effectively but unfortunately they do not. Hopefully your own internal QC work on your models goes well beyond a review of the IESVE BPRM report. Essentially that is what the LEED review of this credit is, a quality control level of review.

Many thanks for your responses! I hope with the IESVE so-called navigators this can be done more easily in the future.
