I'm wondering what performance period would be acceptable for calculating the leakage rate (lbs of refrigerant added and over what time frame) for this credit.

Future HVAC Installation

CS-2009 EAp3:Fundamental Refrigerant Management
posted by  Curt Pascoe  on 

What if your CS building scope does not include HVAC equipment (and therefore no refrigerants)? USGBC requires the entire building to meet this prereq (including tenant spaces).

MPR 6

posted by  Adrienn Gelesz  on 

I have tried to figure out but cannot wrap my head around another subject. MPR 6 requires sharing actual whole-project energy and water usage data for a period of at least 5 years.

Definition of a bicycle rack?

Retail-NC-v2009 SSc4:Alternative transportation
posted by  Ward Miller  on 

This may sound silly to most that have not had materials reviewed by GBCI, but how exactly is a bicycle rack defined? One rack can serve 1 or 10+ bicycles.

Hello, I understand that we have to meet the credits in the current submission and also show that we comply as a master site. However, I am confused about what goes into the actual Template.

When using MRc5 Option 2 approach --> should we be using the direct distance between two locations? Or the nautical miles between two locations?

We have a space about 5000 ft2 for about 160 people. It is a true open office; no cubicles, no walls, just long rows of tables & chairs.
