FAQs about EAp2 :

Do the required savings for this prerequisite (and credit) need to come only from building energy, or also process loads?

Our project doesn't have enough energy savings to earn the prerequisite. Can we get there by incorporating onsite renewables?

Our proposed design has insulation R-values that are below those prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Can we still meet the prerequisite?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

USGBC Alternative Energy Code Checklist

Hello,

I have a question regarding an elusive USGBC document regarding a "mandatory checklist for USGBC approved alternative energy code" and is mentioned in some of its articles regarding EAp2 ACP documentation, but I could not find it. 

https://www.usgbc.org/credits/new-construction-core-and-shell-schools-new-construction-retail-new-construction-healthca-95?return=/pilotcredits/New-Construction/v4

Anyone have a clue where this checklist is hidden? I was wondering if Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) 2015 is being included in this checklist. 

Thanks so much in advance,

Jude.

This would be a document associated with the already approved code in question. I thought the WSEC was an approved code in the past but am not usre about the 2015 version. So this is not a checklist provided by USGBC, it would be one associated with the code. For example, ASHARE has forms you use to demonstrate code compliance which includes a mandatory requirements checklist. If the code in question does not have such a form then you would need to create a form that lists all the mandatory provisions and indicate that you have complied with them all.

Thanks Marcus, I get it now. Regarding WSEC, yes, I couldnot find any documentation which says this is an approved code for LEED and a methodology for points determination,  similar to Seattle Energy Code( https://www.usgbc.org/leedaddenda/10420 ) or Title-24 (https://www.usgbc.org/leedaddenda/10480). I was wondering if there are any similar documentation/addenda for WSEC compliant projects.  Thanks, Jude.
