FAQs about EAc5 :

How should we approach this credit for residential buildings where tenants are paying their own utilities?

Our project already includes a full direct digital control (DDC) system for HVAC. Does this satisfy the submetering requirements of this credit?

Is the gas consumption of stoves, ovens, etc. required under this point?

When should a project consider Option B instead of Option D?

Is there a requirement to model baseline energy use as being 25% process loads?

Does this credit specify how energy use should be measured?

What should the plan for corrective action contain?

We are designing a Hotel with the following systems:

  • Vertical 2-Pipe Heat Pumps in the Guestrooms (with Central Boiler and Chiller Plant)
  • Ceiling Mounted 2-Pipe Heat Pumps at Common Areas and BOH Spaces.
  • Ducted Make-Up Air and Rooftop Mounted Make-Up Air Units
  • Electric Heat at Stairs Wells  
  • LED Lighting throughout
  • A Building Energy Management System will be used (Evolve system or similar)

In this type of configuration, what systems are typically included on the M & V Plan?

All energy consuming and producing systems should be addressed by the M&V Plan. You need to gather data so that you can calibrate the proposed model to the actual utility bills and then create a calibrated baseline to show the savings.
