FAQs about EAp2 :

Do the required savings for this prerequisite (and credit) need to come only from building energy, or also process loads?

Our project doesn't have enough energy savings to earn the prerequisite. Can we get there by incorporating onsite renewables?

Our proposed design has insulation R-values that are below those prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Can we still meet the prerequisite?

Dear LEED Experts...

 I am involving one energy model work. It is factory production type Building.That project Installed equipments total power in KW-150. if i feed this total energy 150kw to my baseline energy model, my equipment load is  exceed more than 40% of overall Energy consumption.How can i handle this Total equipment loads. Can i get suggestions from experts.....

That is not unusual for a manufacturing facility. In fact many have process loads far higher than 40%. So you need to find the required savings outside the process load or you need to prepare exceptional calcualtions to claim savings within the process loads. I'm not sure what you mean by How can I handle this equipment loads?

If you have a backup for 150 kW, see what equipmets the project is using and claim some savings by exceptional calculations. If you don't have a backup, and just roughly you got to know 150 kW, in such case you can use table G-B of ASHRAE 90.1 user manual for equipment load. ASHRAE mentions if equipment load is not know one can use the values as per tabel G-B however it is to be noted that whatever value the table provides, you have to increase it in both the cases till the equipment load becomes more than 25% of total in the baseline case
