Greetings, In the IEQp1 calculation form, provided by USGBC for using in LEED v4, in the Occupancy Category pull-down menu, there is nothing related to equipment rooms, non-occupied stores and sim

For chillers in EnergyPlus I have to provide the data “Minimum Unloading Ratio”.

We are building an addition to an existing building that has a central plant that is outside of our LEED boundary. However, we also have a contract to improve the performance of the central plant.

I am modeling a new building(Laboratory/office) on a university campus following LEED v4 Option 1, Whole Building Energy Simulation. New Building is 3 story and 69,500 sq.ft .

Is there any new guidance or published changes for modeling district energy loops in LEED v4?

Hi Markus, Thanks for your reply. I've been trying to undestand the explanation of 90.1-2013 User's Manual, page G-35.

We are designing a research and development facility for an equipment manufacturer and trying to pursue LEED certification for the facility.

Thank you USGBC for Energy Performance Calculator. I remember the days before...where you had to make your own more or less whilst fumbling through projects.

Does anyone know if either prereq EA - Minimum Energy Performance, or the Optimize Energy Performance credit need a third party review as it did under the CaGBC's LEED 2009?

My question is regarding the EAp2 and EAc3, our project consists of a palm oil manufacturing facility.
