IPpc100 Passive Survivability and Functionality during Emergencies

 

Hi,

We are submitting this pilot credit via Option 2: Provide Backup Power for critical loads. The project building is office usage, but there is no instruction for office building regaring time duration for back-up power. We really appreciate instruction about this. Thank you.

We are submiiting this credit using bi-fuel generator.

This is what I found: '"The duration over which the back-up power must be available is different than in the original credit—to align with RELi. Originally for residential buildings Credit 100 required back-up power for a full week if provided with fuel-fired generators, while three days were required for non-residential buildings relying on fuel-fired generators. Now there are different back-up power requirements for different building types, but the back-up power is required for no more than four days. Both the original and revised credit allow the length of time over which back-up power must be provided to be reduced if that power is provided with a renewable energy system and battery storage. In the original credit, with solar and battery storage the back-up power requirement dropped to 72 hours and 24 hours, respectively, for residential and non-residential buildings. With the revised credit, the duration requirement is simply halved when renewable energy (either solar or wind) and battery storage is used."
