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?

Does the base building information need to be included in the minimum energy performance calculator, or is it sufficient to just include the tenant space?

Are there any exceptions to the daylight control requirement of ASHRAE 90.1–2010?

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

CI-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

eQUEST energy modelling chiller size setting

Dear all, I am doing a CI-v4 eQUEST modeling. There are two chillers and shared by two buildings, but our project is just one of the floors. I know that the chiller input should be a ratio of the full volume, but I'm not sure how to decide it?  I considered ignoring the internal heat gain and use the project fabric area to whole building fabric ratio, is that make sense?

Check the Reference Guide and LEED Interpretations but I would think that if the loads in your space are similar to the loads in the rest of the buildings then proportioning it based on area makes sense.
