[Bldg-sim] Mechanical Penthouses

[Matutinovic, Luka]

Hi Brian,

 

I think this question is easier to answer for LEED 2009 than v1.0.  In
short, yes.  Since all energy used in the building has to be accounted
for, I think it's pretty clear that this should include even minimally
heated mechanical spaces.

 

Cheers,

Hi,

 

I am just wondering if it is necessary to include minimally heated
mechanical penthouses in LEED 2009 energy models if there is just enough
heating provided to prevent pipes from bursting, etc.

 

Thanks,
