Term

EA Prereq 2

Minimum Energy Performance

Definition

Comply with ASHREA/IESNA 90.1-2004 or local energy code.

BASELINE

Term
Minimum Energy Performance Intent
Definition

Establish the minimum level of energy efficiency for the tenant space systems.

 

Systems= lighting, HVAC, appliances and equipment

Term
Requirements for Minimum Energy Performance
Definition
Design potions of the building as covered by the tenant's scope of work to comply with ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 or the local energy code, whichever is more stringent.
Term
Potential Technologies & Strategies for Minimum Energy Performance
Definition
Design the systems in the tenant's scope of work to maximize energy performance. Use a computer simulation model to assess the energy performance and identify the most cost effective energy measueres.  Quantify energy performance as compared to the baslines building.
Term
What has been deemed to be more stringent than 90.1 for LEED purposes?
Definition
California Title 24 2001
Term
The provisions of this standard do not apply to:
Definition
single-family houses, multi-family structures of three habitable stories or fewer above grade, manufactured houses (mobile and modular homes), building that do not use either electricity or fossil fuel, or equipment and portions of buildings systems that use energy primarily for industrical, manufacturing or commercial processes.
Term
What requirements are provided for semi-heated spaces, such as warehouses?
Definition
Building envelope
Term
Within each section, there are mandatory provisions that must always be complied with, as well as additional prescriptive requirements.  Some setions aslo contain ______________
Definition
a performance alternate
Term
The _____________ allows the user to exceed some of the prescriptive requirements provided energy cost savings are made in other areas. 
Definition

Energy Cost Budget Method

 

*However, in all cases, he mandatory provisions must still be met.

Term
Energy Cost Budget Method is the same as:
Definition
a computer simulation
Term
In LEED CI, the prerequisite limits the application of teh standard to the tenant's scope of work to allow those locating in an existing core and shell building to certify their project without having to force the building owner to________
Definition
make revisions to existing systems.
Term
Project teams may not arbitrarily delineate a tenant scope of work to what?
Definition
circumvent the application of the standard
Term
Section 2.1 (of 90.1) of the standard specifies mimimum energy efficiency requirements for the following construction types
Definition
  1. new buildings and their systems
  2. new protions of building and their systems
  3. new systems and equipment in existing buildings
Term
The thrid approach applies to most commercial interior projects and is addressed in this discussion.  As stated in Section 4.2.1.3 alterations of existing buildgings shall comly with:
Definition
provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, so that in meeting the provisions there is no increase in the building's energy consumption.
Term
What type of exceptions does the standard have?
Definition
Historic buildings and 24-hour facilities
Term
Section 9.4 decribes the mandatory provisions for automatic lighiting shutoff, space controls, exterior lighting controls, additional controls including:
Definition
tandem wiring, exit signs, exterior building and grounds lighting.
Term
Buildings ___________ must have an automatic control device to shut off building lighting in all spaces.
Definition
OVER 5000 SF
Term
The shut-off device may be a programmable control to schedule time-of-day control for areas no greater than____________.
Definition
25,000 SF, but no less than every floor.
Term
The aprroach ma use occupant sensors to turn lights off within ______ of an occupant leaving  space, or a signal from another control or alarm system that indicates the area is unoccupied.
Definition
30 minutes
Term
A space conrol device must be provided in each space enclosed by __________ partitions and if the "on" function is manual.
Definition
ceiling-height
Term
In all other spaces, the "on" function may be either manual or an occupancy sensor.  There must be at least one control for every _____ for 10,000 SF or less and at least one every 10,000 SF if larger.
Definition
2500 SF
Term
Use either the prescriptive approach OR
Definition
the Energy Cost Budget Method
Term
The _____________ requires the simulation of the proposed design and a budget case that follows the prescriptive requirements of each section.
Definition
Energy Cost Budget (ECB)
Term
If ECB is used to demonstrate compliance with EA PREQ 2, note that the only permitted trade-offs between _____ may be within the project space.
Definition
regulated systems
Term
For Additional Documentation
Definition
Include a table listing budget and esign quantities similar to that included in the EA templates for C1.3. Explain which model variables were constant and changed between ECB and the Design Energy Cost.
