[Equest-users] LEED Baseline - Apartments

[Cam Fitzgerald]

Susan:

 

You should look at an LEED-NC v2.2 EAc1 CIR ruling dated 10/20/2006 for
additional insight.  Remember if you use a CIR ruling you should be sure
to reference it in your documentation.  Hope this helps!

Subject: [Equest-users] LEED Baseline - Apartments

 

I'm working on an apartment building and trying to figure out what my
baseline should be.  For the residential units, the proposed building is
split system heat pumps and supplemental electrical.  So for the
baseline I'm using PTHPs.  For the retail and other non-residential
areas which are mostly on one floor, the heating is electric so I'm
using System #4.  

The confusing piece to me is an outside air unit serving the corridors
of the residential area.  It has a gas-fired furnace that is heating the
air to 70degF.  It is the only fossil fuel device in the building and
I'm not sure that the baseline should be hybrid for this.  I have a
feeling that a hybrid baseline will hurt me.

Has anyone done anything similar in the past?  What has worked for the
LEED reviewers?

Thanks in advance.
