A whole building energy simulation resulted in a baseline building performance of $112,488 for a new school. What minimum improvement
in building performance is needed for LEED certification?
A: $11,248
B: $5,624
C: $13,499
D: $8,999

参考答案: A

本题解释:
Notes:
Reference: Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Minimum Energy Performance, Requirements - This is Pr
The calculations for energy performance improvements are based on the quantity of energy saved as a percentage of the cost. If the
baseline energy cost of a building is $100,000 for example, how much energy must be saved for certification? Minimum Energy
Performance requires a 10% savings for new buildings, or $10,000.
Option 1 uses a whole building energy simulation.
For new construction, achieve a minimum 10% improvement in the performance rating for new buildings compared with the baseline
building performance rating.
$112,488 X 10% = $11,248
For major renovations to existing buildings, achieve a minimum 5% improvement in the performance rating for new buildings compared with
the baseline building performance rating.
