LEED 2009 REQUIREMENTS
New Construction
EA Prerequisite 2:
Minimum Energy Performance Requirement:


Option 1: Demonstrate a 10% improvement in the proposed building performance rating for new buildings, or a 5% improvement in the proposed building performance rating for major renovations to existing buildings, compared with the baseline building performance rating determined by ASHRAE 90.1-2007.
EA Credit 1:
Optimize Energy Performance Requirement:
  • New Construction & Schools: 1-19 Points
  • Core and Shell: 3-21 Points
  • Healthcare: 1-24 Points

Option 1: Demonstrate a percentage improvement in the proposed building performance rating compared with the baseline building performance rating as determined by Appendix G of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007.  (New buildings: 12% improvement; Existing building renovations: 8% improvement

Solution:
Furniture mounted task lighting that includes a control device (e.g. switch) either integrated into the fixture or a nearby wall should typically be included in the baseline lighting power allowance (LPA) calculation.  By connecting this type of task lighting to a plug load control device offering automatic shutoff, you can exclude it from the LPA calculation for the proposed building thereby improving building performance.

Isolé and DLM occupancy-based controls providing automatic shutoff can help improve building performance.
