Inquiry

Do LEED v4 ND projects using earlier versions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 comply with LEED v4 Green Infrastructure and Buildings (GIB) credit Optimize building energy performance?

Ruling

Yes. Group 1 buildings that were modeled using earlier versions of ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G may use these models to document credit compliance using the conservative revised point thresholds from Table 1 below. Unfinished spaces or systems in a building may be modeled in the proposed case using the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 baseline values, and may be modeled in the baseline case using the baseline values from the referenced version of ASHRAE 90.1.
