Refer to the ASHRAE compliance form to check if measures such as controls, sensors, wiring, equipment efficiency, window specifications, and pipe insulation are included in drawings and bid packages.
As the prerequisite energy target goes beyond code compliance, some members of the construction team may not be familiar with the additional requirements. Integrate equipment selections in drawings and bid documents.
Identify unique or unfamiliar energy-efficiency strategies in the construction documents and confirm expectations and requirements for installation. Outline standards and requirements in bid packages so that they are clear to the general contractor and subcontractors.
If the HVAC engineer, commissioning agent, or other team members will be involved in developing and/or implementing this credit after construction, include that in the specifications.
