[Bldg-sim] [BLDG-SIM] Traction Elevators and LEED Baseline

[Zarske, Jim]

Yes, our project which I had a previous posting regarding using
hydraulic elevators as the baseline and traction as the proposed case
did make it through LEED certification for a platinum building.
 
Previous posting and methodology is below:

Following up on the topic of taking credit for the Elevator Efficiency
for the proposed case as compared to the LEED baseline, has anyone been
able to successfully document it and eventually gained approval from the
LEED reviewers. If so could you please share the methodology.

 

Thanks
