LEED v4.1 - Green Building Rating System (US Green Building Council) EAc2: EA Credit: Optimize Energy Performance

What does EAc2 require?

1 to 18 points (1 to 16 Schools, 1 to 20 Healthcare); applies to all eight BD+C adaptations. Analyse efficiency measures during design, then either model Performance Cost Index improvement below the ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Appendix G target on both a cost table and a greenhouse gas table (points summed; for example 5% to 50% cost improvement and 5% to 100% emissions improvement for new construction), or follow the recommendations of the relevant ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide (50% series) (1 to 6 points), or take the prescriptive systems optimisation path (lighting power, daylight controls, envelope, fan power, equipment efficiency, ENERGY STAR equipment, up to 6 points); data centers may instead improve the ASHRAE 90.4 overall systems design value by 10 to 30%.
