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?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Natural Gas as process loads

Dear forum users,

We are modeling a manufacturing building that uses natural gas in its welding processes.

Should the natural gas consumption be included in the energy simulation?

If so, should we use the same values for both the proposed case and the baseline case? And the consumption of natural gas should be considered when calculating the improvement in greenhouse gas emissions in the LEED v4-Update?

Thanks in advance.
