[Equest-users] LEED high residenstial bulding

[Nathan Miller]

A good starting point would be to review the Energy Star Multifamily High-Rise Simulation Guidelines:

http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/bldrs_lenders_raters/downloads/mfhr/ENERGY%20STAR%20MFHR%20Simulation%20Guidelines_Version_1%200_Rev03.pdf?8d9a-5471

The big caveat is that those are created for apartment buildings in the United States, so you'll have to adjust accordingly per your energy modeling judgment. If it is for a standard LEED-NC project, you could reference the ESMFHRSG as your basis and explain where and why you varied from it as explanation for the source of your modeling assumptions.

Is there any chance that the local energy utilities collect any data on multifamily buildings that you could use to calibrate your model?

Hello


I'm working on a high residential building  project,  ¿where can I find information about how to model it in e-Quest? I have only been working on office and retail building.
This project is about 300 apartments in 22 levels in Mexico City.

Regards


Juan Carlos
