LEED-NC 2.2 And Standard 62.1-2004

摘要

LEED-NC 2.2 relies heavily on ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004. Standard 62 is a primary prerequisite for any LEED credits. Specifically for EQ credits, points are expected to be awarded when the project goes beyond the minimum requirements found in Standard 62. The latest version of LEED-NC, the green building rating system for new construction and major renovations from the U.S. Green Building Council, relies heavily on ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004 (Standard 62). Compliance with this ASHRAE ventilation standard is not only a prerequisite for any credits, it helps provide a pathway to several indoor environmental quality (EQ) credits. As chair of Standing Standards Project Committee 62.1 and as a member of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) EQ technical advisory group (TAG), I decided to take a closer look at the relationship between Standard 62 and LEED EQ credits.
