• Mechanical/Electrical Engineer to assess compliance with California Title 24 lighting requirements and provide documentation of assessment. California Title 24 lighting requirements are attached. Credit 1: Energy EfCciency Leve12 Exceed the requirements of ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 - 1989 and subsequent revisions "Energy Efficient Design of New Buildings Except New Low-Rise Residential Buildings" by 20% or more. • Estimate the cost of installing high performance glazing and daylighting controls as recommended by the PGE Earth Smart Program. Participating in the PGE Earth Smart Program will also provide access to the DOE2 energy efficiency study, which may facilitate the achievement of the following credit. Bonus Credit 1: International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol Comply with the Department of Energy's International Performance Measurement and Verifrcation Protocol for energy consumption. • To comply with this credit three aspects of energy performance must be addressed: 1. Accurate cataloguing of baseline conditions 2. Verification of the complete installation and proper operations of equipment or systems 3. Confirmation of the quantity of energy saved during a period of analysis. The first aspect to be addressed, accurate cataloguing of baseline conditions, is presumed to be obtained using a computer-based simulation. Participation in the PGE Earth Smart Program would provide access to the DOE2 energy efficiency study, which would furnish the necessary information. If the decision is made not to participate in the PGE Earth Smart Program the results of a similar simulation must be obtained, or the cost to complete a simulation must be estimated. The second aspect can be met by conducting formal building commissioning. At this point, it is unclear what level of effort is required to comply with the third aspect, which is to confirm the quantity of energy saved during a period of analysis. I am seeking clarification from the LEED Committee on this issue. Language from the Department of Energy's International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol pertaining to this credit is attached. ENHANCING INDOOR AIR QUALITY Prerequisite 1: Indoor Air QualityNentilation/Fresh Air Intakes Comply with ASHRAE Standard 62 - 1989, with the proviso that the ambient air quality standard requirements shall be site specific, not regional specific (i.e., ambient air quality at the proposed point of fresh air intake.) • Mechanical Engineer to generate letter stating compliance with ASHRAE 62 - 1989, including available design criteria. Prerequisite 3: Thermal Comfort Comply with ASHRAE Standard 55 - 1992 • Mechanical Engineer to generate letter stating compliance with ASHRAE 55 - 1992, including available design criteria. Credit i: Basic Construction IAQ Management Plan After completion of construction and prior to occupancy, provision of cleaning requirements for ventilation system components and pathways exposed to contamination during construction.
