ND-v4 GIBp2:Minimum building energy performance

USGBC Acknowledged alternatives for Projects outside US

Hi there!

my question is about Path2 of the prerequisite (prescriptive compliance) for project located in Germany. It says that for projects outside the U.S. there are USGBC-approved equivalent standards that can be used instead of the ASHRAE 90.1-2010.

Is there a list/website available which notes those approved standard?

Thanks!

Benjamin, other than Canada, I'm not aware of any approved non-U.S. standards or alternative compliance paths for this prerequisite. I think you need to approach USGBC on a case-by-case basis with documentation of equivalency between ASHRAE 90.1 and the proposed standard. Eliot
