Prerequisite 1 is for “fundamental building”, Credit 3 is for “entire building.”
How many points are available for Additional Commissioning?
One
What is the 1st requirement of Additional Commissioning Credit?
1) A commissioning authority, independent of the design team, shall review design prior to the construction document phase.
What is the 2nd requirement of Additional Commissioning Credit?
2) An independent commissioning
authority shall review construction documents when close to completion.
What is the 3rd requirement of Additional Commissioning Credit?
3) An independent commissioning authority shall review the contractor submittals relative tosystems being commissioned.
What is the 4th requirement of Additional Commissioning Credit?
4) provide the owner with a single manual that contains the information required for recommissioning building systems.
What is the 5th requirement of Additional Commissioning Credit?
5) Have a contract in place to review building operation with O&M staff,including a plan for resolution of outstanding commissioning-related issues within one year after construction completion date.
What is EA Credit 4 called?
Ozone Protection
What are 2 intents of the Ozone Protection Credit?
Reduce ozone depletion and support compliance with the Montreal Protocol.
How many points are available for Ozone Protection?
One
What is required for the Ozone Protection Credit?
Install base building level HVAC, refrigeration equipment, and fire suppression systems that do not contain HCFC’s or Halons.
What are some strategies to achieve the Ozone Protection Credit?
Building reuse: replace building systems that contain HCFCs or Halons; new buildings: specify refrigeration and fire suppression systems that use no HCFCs or Halons.
What is EA Credit 5 called?
