font-family:Arial'>I’m preparing a model for an office building for LEED Canada
CS 2009. Modelling is with EE4 following NRCan rules with an MNECB
reference building. Base building includes rooftop units, baseboard
perimeter heat, core area with washrooms, electrical rooms, stairwells,
elevators, etc. One floor of the building has a ceiling in place with VAV
boxes, diffusers and lights laid out for an open office plan (as laid out in
the lease). The other two floors of the building have VAV boxes installed
as base building but the tenants will be responsible for installing lights or
diffusers in tenant fit-ups. Walls will probably be added and VAV boxes
may need to change at that point in time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I had the owner put requirements in the lease for lighting
power density and lighting controls (Core Performance Guide) so I’ll be
claiming credit for those. The problem I have is that there are no floor
layouts indicating open office areas, private offices, conference rooms, staff
rooms, etc. so I’m not sure what to use for reference building lighting
power density and plug loads in the leased tenant areas. My first thought
for lighting was to use the building area method for the reference building
then use a mix of actual installed lighting and Core Performance Guide lighting
densities in the proposed assuming all open office plans for the tenant fit-up
areas. Any comments would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
