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 remember discussing ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide in class, but I don't think that's the one for LEED energy modeling.

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