I am working on a project that consists of an existing building which will be retrofitted and modeled as a major renovation under LEED BD+C.

As we all know LEED requires MERV 13 filters for all outdoor air intakes. We are currently working on a manufacturing plant in a desert region that mostly operates with evaporative coolers.

Just to confirm my understanding - Is it correct that an exemplary performance point can be met by meeting the 80% threshold for EITHER electric-powered equipment (MRc2.1) OR furniture (MRc2.2)?

Does anyone have any experience counting landscaping equipment that "replaces conventional gas-powered equipment"? The footnote on p. 259 of the Ref.

Any guidance on how to appropriately certify your own firm's building?

How would you recommend handling changes to the number of FTE's during the performance period? Should I use a similar approach to what Portfolio Manager does with occupancy changes?

It looks like project teams must account for Food Waste during the Performance period.

Can laundry drain water be considered as non-potable water source for the credit compliance through Option 2?

Very simple question: What should I write in the "Location Info Source" column of the template: the location of manufacture extraction, the info source or the location of the info source? Thanks!!

We are employing 0.5 gpm lav fixtures with sensors and timed cut off at 10 seconds. Can we factor those to 0.125 gpm because the average use will be say 20 seconds?
