FAQs about EAc2 :

The energy cost offset from onsite renewable energy cannot be used to demonstrate compliance with the prerequisite. Can this cost offset still be credited to the proposed energy cost savings for this credit?

CS-v4 EAc2:Optimize energy performance

Large Office building

Our team is working on a large commercial building (13 level of parking+2 levels of lobby+ 37 levels of office space) C&S LEED v4 model. we are using IES VE for the modeling. The model is getting so slow that we are thinking of separating the model into 3 separate models and combining the results for the final report. Is this approach acceptable from the LEED point of view? if not what do you suggest as a workaround?

 

Thanks,

You should be able to do so. Make sure that you provide a thorough narrative describing what you have done, how it is thermodynamically the same as one model, and why you needed to do it this way.
