In regards to the new LEED-CSv2.0 document posted 03/12/2010, will projects now be required to meet both a minimum energy for the Core and Shell only and also a minimum for the whole building based on an adjusted percentage? For the EAC1 template, should whole building energy be reported? What is considered Tenant energy? Should tenant HVAC energy be included in core and shell energy or tenant energy? Should two sets of calculations be run, one for whole building and one without tenant energy?
The spreadsheet establishes new point thresholds for the project based on the percentage of energy influenced by the developer versus the total predicted building energy consumption. There is only one target minimum energy savings. Reporting will remain the same. All HVAC energy is considered to be "influenced by the developer" with the exception of server room energy since the developer influences the HVAC energy through the envelope design, and the outside air distribution design. One model should be run, with submetering for tenant energy. Applicable internationally.
