[All LEED-AP-BD+C Questions]

What is the reference standard that defines the requirements for LEED energy modeling?

AASHRAE 62.1-2010

BCore Performance Guide

CASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide

DASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Detailed

ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G is the reference standard used for energy modeling in LEED projects. It establishes guidelines for baseline building performance and energy simulation comparisons, allowing project teams to demonstrate energy performance improvements relative to code-minimum buildings.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like the Core Performance Guide might be more about general performance rather than energy modeling specifically.
