<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Consult the USGBC website and look for the
"Treatment of District or Campus Thermal Energy in LEED v2 and LEED 2009"
document. This will guide you how you will end up modeling the baseline
systems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This document does not necessarily cover the
baseline pump setup if you go for Option 1. For my submissions I tend to
be conservative and go with the values described in Addendum AI of ASHRAE 90.1
2007.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It may also be useful to your LEED team to find the
2010 LEED Campus App Guide to see if any of the special campus rules apply to
other credits.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hope this helps,</FONT></DIV>

baseline for gymnasium</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>All,<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I'm at the planning stage for a LEED NC v 2009 compliance
model. The building is a university gymnasium with a main gym and two
practice gyms. The facility also contains locker rooms, a weight room, a
sports medicine area, offices, classrooms, and circulation spaces. The
building has two floors above grade, plus a basement mechanical room, with a
floor area of roughly 90,000 SF. Most of the facility is gymnasium
space, the other ("non-predominant") uses do not individually total over
20,000SF in area. The heating source is a campus steam loop fed by a
central plant with natural gas-fired steam boilers. Cooling is by a
campus chilled water loop. Based on G3.1.1 and table G3.1.1A, the
required LEED baseline HVAC system will be System 5-Packaged VAV with Reheat -
DX cooling and Hot-water fossil fuel boiler.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>My read on this is that, for the LEED baseline, I will have
two separate system 5's, one for each floor, with a unit heater for the
basement mech room. Since the campus has central heating and cooling, do
I use those systems to provide heating & cooling sources for the LEED
baseline, or do I use DX cooling and a hot water fossil fuel boiler per
table G3.1.1B?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></P>
