[bldg-sim] LEED modeling questions

[James Campbell]

Daylighting controls and ice storage can both be applied to increase energy
efficiency above the prerequisite standard (EA prerequisite 2). Therefore, I
believe they could both be included in an effort to obtain points under "EA
Credit 1" (Optimize energy performance).

Subject: [bldg-sim] LEED modeling questions


I am currently working on an building model for a LEED project.  I was
hoping to get some information on whether we can get any benefits in
LEED for the two features listed below.
1)Day lighting control.  The new building will use day lighting
control.  Can we get credit in LEED for this? Should the budget building
be modeled with day lighting control also?
2)Ice storage.  ASHRAE 90.1-1999 did not specify how to deal with Ice
storage system.  Can we get credit in LEED because it reduces energy
cost? Should the budget building modeled with ice storage?

Thanks
