Hello Marcus,

Why is there a sliding scale for Healthcare as opposed to New Construction?

For example a New Construction project achieves 1 LEED point for demonstrating a 6% improvement while Healthcare would achieve 3 LEED points for demonstrating a 6% improvement.

I believe it has to do with design requirements inherent of Healthcare that make ASHRAE 90.1 a bit more challenging to exceed.

Any input is most appreciated.

Thank you!

Dave
