requires compliance with both sections 5.4-10.4 (mandatory requirements) and
5.5-10.5 (prescriptive requirements). From my understanding, using
Appendix G to determine EAc1 points demonstrates compliance with only
prescriptive requirements, and not with the mandatory requirements. These
requirements include labeling of mechanical equipment (6.4.1.5.1), service hot
water piping insulation (7.4.3), and other requirements that cannot be described
in an energy model. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

working on a LEED project, the USGBC allows the Appendix G analysis to suffice
for the minimum energy performance prerequisite. I was doing both (Appendix G
and ECB) until I learned about this allowance, which is stated in the LEED-NC
Reference Guide (Oct 2005) on page 164. I guess you could produce a
reduced energy use building with Appendix G and not meet ECB; but to meet the
LEED point threshold (10.5%) it’s still most likely you meet
ECB.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

understanding that what you state below is not actually correct. demonstrating

you do not meet the mandatory provisions you do not meet the prerequisite. If
you do not meet the prescriptive requirements then officially you need to
demonstrate compliance via the ECB method (chapter 11) in a pass/fail mode.
