Teams may use the energy end-use breakdown that is also required and facilitated through the ASHRAE Level I walk through assessment performed as a part of EAp1. If an alternative breakdown is utilized, ensure that the end uses correlate to the breakdown develop as a part of EAp1.
For each major end use-use application, compile the expected annual energy consumption, percentage of total annual energy use, and percentage of submetered energy consumption.
Significant applications covered by this credit are those that constitute 10% or more of the building’s total annual consumption.
Develop and record a breakdown of the building’s significant end-use energy applications. This can be performed as part of the ASHRAE Level I energy audit required for EAp1: Energy Efficiency Best Management Practices.
If the project does not already have submeters, there can be a number of difficulties that prevent teams from pursuing this credit.
If the project building has existing submetering systems, it probably makes sense to pursue this credit.
Assess the current level of building system submetering and the feasibility of adding additional submeters for systems that are not already monitored.
For the final submittal, you must use the LEED Online credit form rather than submitting your own custom tracking sheet. The LEED Online credit form has a built-in calculator, and it is cumbersome for LEED review teams to ensure that a project-supplied spreadsheet is calculating all purchases exactly the way the LEED Online credit form does.
Quality control can include, among other strategies:
regular inspection of dumpster contents to identify inappropriate disposal practices
using signage or other communications to alert personnel to proper disposal techniques and remind them to follow these procedures throughout construction.
