Learn the fundamental commissioning and verification within the energy and atmosphere category of LEED BD+C v4, including OPR, C1 enhanced commissioning, commissioning authority, and body basis of design.
Identify the climate zone per ASHRAE 90.1-2010 appendix b and d, then pursue minimum energy performance through energy modeling, prescriptive path, or core performance with Energy Star Typekit Binder targets.
Discover how to optimize energy performance in LEED BD+C by establishing a schematic-design energy target and choosing between whole-building energy simulation or prescriptive compliance measures.
Explore demand response in energy and atmosphere credit, focusing on load shedding, price-based incentives, and a comprehensive plan to reduce peak demand and greenhouse gas emissions.
Apply enhanced refrigerant management strategies to support the Montreal Protocol, compare ODP and GWP, review refrigerants and natural alternatives, and evaluate VRF trade-offs and leakage.
Define green power and carbon offsets, explain renewable energy sources and green-e certified products, and outline US-based emission reductions and LEED-related certification and associations.
