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?

Hi All!

The climate zone data for our LEED project location is missing in eQuest. Does LEED accept selection of the closest option by description or is it a must to incorporate the data from another source for correct calculations?

If you cannot find your particular location then you should select another that closely represents the climate in your location. That is not always the closest location. You can download weather files for particular climate zones here - https://www.energycodes.gov/prototype-building-models#Weather . Here is another source for international weather files - https://www.ashrae.org/technical-resources/bookstore/weather-data-center
