08/25/2017 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The LEED Form states that the project complies with Option 1 and provides preferred parking spaces for low-emitting and
fuel-efficient vehicles for 5.85% of total parking capacity. However, to demonstrate compliance, the following must be
addressed.

TECHNICAL ADVICE
1. Provide documentation, such as a narrative and/or revised site drawings, to confirm that the location of the low-
emitting and fuel-efficient vehicle parking spaces meets the LEED definition of preferred. Preferred spaces are those
spaces located closest to the main entrance of the project (exclusive of spaces designed for handicapped).

2. It is not clear if the installed signage clearly identifies the parking spaces as preferred for low-emitting and fuel-efficient
as the photographs provided indicates only a green car painted in the parking spaces. Provide additional documentation
that confirms that the low-emitting and fuel-efficient parking spaces are clearly reserved.

The additional documentation demonstrates that the open space provided is equal to 51.15% of the total site area.

08/25/2017 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The LEED Form states that the project complies with Case 3: Sites with Zoning Ordinances but No Open Space
Requirements. The open space provided is equal to 46.88% of the total site area. However, to demonstrate compliance,
the following must be addressed.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

1. The total vegetated area reported here (7,064.81 square feet) is inconsistent with the areas reported within PIf2:
Project Summary Details. The sum of the Footprint (12,959.75 square feet) and the Hardscape (30,172.1 square feet)
reported in PIf2 is equal to the total Site area (43,131.85 square feet); therefore, it is not clear if the vegetated area
reported here is correct. Square footage values must be reported consistently. Provide a narrative and revise the form to
ensure that the total gross square footage is consistent across all submittals.

2. The total vegetated area reported here (7,064.81 square feet) is inconsistent with the vegetated area reported within
WEc1: Water-Efficient Landscaping (8,905 square feet). Square footage values must be reported consistently. Provide a
narrative and revise the form to ensure that the total gross square footage is consistent across all submittals.

Water Efficiency

WEp1: Water Use Reduction-20% Awarded


Reduction

06/11/2018 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FINAL REVIEW

The additional documentation states that the project has reduced potable water use by 35.77%.

The following issues are noted:

1. The form includes three different usage groups. However, all groups are including all projects occupants and have
been included for all flush and flow fixtures calculation. Therefore, the flow and flush fixtures usage have been counted
three times.

2. The flow rate for the LV-1 lavatory faucet reported in the form calculations (0.25 GPM) is not consistent with the flow
rate reported in the manufacturer documentation (0.5 GPM).

When these issues are addressed and the form is recalculated, the project has reduced potable water use by 33.66%.

08/25/2017 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The LEED Form states that the project has reduced potable water use by 40.35%. However, to demonstrate compliance,
the following must be addressed.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

1. Provide the plumbing fixture schedule or manufacturer documentation to verify the fixture manufacturer, model, and
flow rate claimed for the kitchen sinks and lavatory faucets.

2. The floor plans in PIf4: Schedule and Overview Documents indicate that the project includes eight unisex restrooms
that do not contain urinals. The calculations in the form automatically assume that 100% of male occupants will use
restrooms that contain urinals. If a percentage of male occupants will not have access to or will not be expected to use
restrooms with urinals, the default Total Daily Uses for water closets and urinals must be adjusted in the form accordingly.
Provide a narrative and supporting daily use calculations to explain the anticipated urinal usage. Revise the form to
ensure that the Total Daily Uses column for the water closets and urinals have been modified appropriately.

3. The supporting documentation for the shower states that a low pressure (less than 1Kg/cm²) is used, but the
calculations must use the rated flow rate at 80 psi/ (6 Kg/cm²) for the shower. Provide additional documentation to
confirm the shower flow rate at 80 psi (6 Kg/cm²) and revise the calculations as necessary.

4. The form indicates a flush rate of 1.2 GPF for the water closets, yet the flow rate reported in the manufacturer
documentation is 1.26 GPF. Revise the form to ensure that the flush rate reported is consistent with that reported in the
manufacturer documentation.

The LEED Form states that the landscaping and irrigation systems have been designed to reduce potable water
consumption for irrigation by 61.08% and reduce the total water used for irrigation by 61.08%. However, to demonstrate
compliance, the following must be addressed.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

1. The total vegetated area reported here (8,905 square feet) is inconsistent with the areas reported within PIf2: Project
Summary Details. The sum of the Footprint (12,959.75 square feet) and the Hardscape (30,172.1 square feet) reported
in PIf2 is equal to the total Site area (43,131.85 square feet); therefore, it is not clear if the vegetated area reported here
is correct. Square footage values must be reported consistently. Provide a narrative and revise the form to ensure that the
total gross square footage is consistent across all submittals.

2. The total vegetated area reported here (8,905 square feet) is inconsistent with the vegetated area reported within
SSc5.2: Site Development - Maximize Open Space (7,064.81 square feet). Square footage values must be reported
consistently. Provide a narrative and revise the form to ensure that the total gross square footage is consistent across all
submittals.

the Building Energy Systems

08/28/2017 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The LEED Form states that the commissioning report is pending completion and a contract is in place to ensure that the
report will be completed.

EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance Awarded

07/24/2018 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FINAL REVIEW

The LEED Form has been revised to address the issues outlined in the Preliminary Review and states that the project has
achieved an energy cost savings of 42.78%. The total predicted annual energy consumption for the project is 678,377
kWh/year of electricity.

08/28/2017 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The LEED Form states that the project complies with Option 1: Whole Building Energy Simulation and has achieved an
energy cost savings of 43.51%. However, to demonstrate compliance, the following comments requiring a project
response (marked as Mandatory) must be addressed for the Final Review. For the remaining review comments (marked as
Optional), a project response is optional.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

REVIEW COMMENTS REQUIRING A PROJECT RESPONSE (Mandatory)

1. Provide the following:

a. A narrative response to each Preliminary Review comment below.

b. A narrative describing any additional changes made to the energy models between the Preliminary and Final Review
phases not addressed by the responses to the review comments. The mandatory comments are perceived to reduce the
projected savings for the Proposed design. If the projected savings increase substantially in the Final submission, without
implementing any optional comments that may improve performance, a narrative explanation for these results must be
provided.

2. The Baseline model lighting Equivalent Full Load Hours (EFLH - determined by dividing the total annual lighting
consumption by the total input lighting power) is 6,111 hours/year and the Proposed model lighting EFLHs is 6,053
hours/year, which is unexpectedly high given the anticipated schedule of operation for the project (9 hours per weekday
indicated in the document LEED-NC V2009 Energy Analysis). Ensure that the lighting models reflect all mandatory
controls from Section 9 and reflect the anticipated schedule of operation for the building. After making any necessary
changes to the model, provide a narrative justifying the equivalent full load hours of operation for lighting for the Baseline
and Proposed Case models.

3. The Energy Analysis report Appendix A indicates that credit is not taken where occupancy sensors are required in
accordance with Section 9.4.1.2 (meeting room, classrooms, and lecture). Ensure that credit is not taken where
occupancy sensors are required in accordance with Section 9.4.1.2 and indicate where occupancy sensor controls are
modeled for credit (if any), verifying that this credit aligns with ASHRAE90.1-2007 Table G3.2 and is only applied to
fixtures controlled by occupant sensors. For spaces that are required to have occupancy sensors by ASHRAE 90.1-2007
Section 9.4.1.2, verify that they have been modeled appropriately in the Baseline Case. Revise the Baseline and Proposed
Case models, the form, and supporting documentation if necessary.

4. The exterior lighting power does not appear to be consistent with the information provided in SSc8: Light Pollution
Reduction. Additionally, Supplemental Table 1.4 indicates that the design lighting power of 1.35 kW exceeds the non-
tradable allowance lighting power of 1.21 kW for building facades. Verify that the Proposed Case exterior lighting reflects
the actual building design, and the Baseline Case reflects the allowed lighting power from ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Section
9.4.5. Version 4.0 of the SSc8 Form uses addendum i to 90.1-2007; therefore, that form calculates a more stringent
requirement. Based upon the surfaces listed in the SSc8 Form, the total Baseline exterior lighting allowance should be
approximately 5.8kW. Ensure that the design lighting power does not exceed the allowance lighting power for non-
tradable surfaces, or no credit is taken in the Proposed Case for lighting reductions on non-tradable surfaces.
Furthermore, additional lighting power allowance cannot be claimed in the Baseline model for surfaces that are not
provided with lighting in the actual design and lighting fixtures cannot be double counted for different exterior surfaces.
Report the tradable and non-tradable surface lighting power separately (in units of Watts or Kilowatts) for both the
Baseline and Proposed Case in Supplemental Table 1.4 and verify that these values are appropriately updated in the
model.

5. The HVAC Modeling Requirements at the bottom of Table 1.4.6 has not been completed. After making all required
changes necessary to this table, click the "Refresh Modeling Requirements" button, complete all required items, and
ensure that the model has been updated as necessary.
6. The energy savings reported for space cooling do not appear to be substantiated because the envelope parameters are
not better than the Baseline Case. The system improvement is not enough to result in such a large energy saving
(approximately 50% energy savings). Review the Baseline and Proposed inputs for the model to confirm that they
conform to ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and LEED modeling protocol. Revise Table 1.4 including all system information required for
both Proposed and Baseline Case, and provide a narrative to justify the reported energy savings. Additionally, provide
input summary reports for a sample HVAC system and thermal zone for the Baseline and Proposed Case to justify that the
energy inputs correctly reflect ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and LEED modeling protocol.

The LEED Form states that enhanced commissioning has been implemented. However, to demonstrate compliance, the
following must be addressed.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

1. The contract between the Owner and the Commissioning Agent does not specify the post-construction commissioning
activities. Provide a signed contract between the Owner and the Commissioning Agent, which ensures post-construction
commissioning activities. Alternatively, provided a letter signed by the Owner defining the scope of the commissioning
activities post-construction.

2. Provide the systems manual that covers the commissioned systems and future operating information. Additionally,
provide the schedule of building operator training.

EAc4: Enhanced Refrigerant Management Denied


POSSIBLE POINTS: 2
ATTEMPTED: 2, DENIED: 2, PENDING: 0, AWARDED: 0

07/27/2018 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FINAL REVIEW

The LEED Form has been revised and the narrative response has been provided indicating the values of refrigerant
charge used in each VRF system. However, the refrigerant impact calculation indicates that the total refrigerant impact of
the LEED project is 208.52 per ton, which is greater than the maximum allowable value of 100. The total refrigerant
impact per ton must be equal to or less than 100 in order to meet the requirements of this credit. Therefore, this credit is
denied.
08/28/2017 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The LEED Form states that the project selected refrigerants and HVACR systems that minimize or eliminate the emission
of compounds that contribute to ozone depletion and global climate change. Additionally, all fire suppression systems in
the LEED project do not use ozone-depleting substances including CFCs, HCFCs, or halons. The refrigerant impact
calculation indicates that the total refrigerant impact of the LEED project is 32.85 per ton, which is less than the
maximum allowable value of 100. However, to demonstrate compliance, the following must be addressed.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

1. The values of Rc reported (0.54 — 0.69 lb/ton) are significantly lower than expected for the Variable Refrigerant Flow
(VRF) HVAC System. VRF Systems, including both factory refrigerant charge and field piping, are expected to have
between 3 and 6 lb of refrigerant per ton. This credit requires that the project team consider all refrigerant used to
operate the HVAC system, not just the refrigerant within the outdoor units. Provide a narrative justifying the refrigerant
charge claimed and submit appropriate supporting documentation. It is recommended that the project team submit
documentation to verify that the refrigerant charge reported is appropriate for this combination of indoor units, outdoor
units, and interconnecting piping.

The additional documentation demonstrates compliance.

08/28/2017 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRELIMINARY REVIEW

The LEED Form states that the project is mechanically ventilated and that the ventilation system has met the minimum
requirements of ASHRAE 62.1-2007. However, to demonstrate compliance, the following must be addressed.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

1. The total area of 34,668 square feet documented for this prerequisite varies substantially from the total gross area of
63,593 square feet reported in PIf2: Project Summary Details. It is unclear whether all occupiable space (as defined by
ASHRAE 62.1-2007) has been accounted for within the ventilation rate procedure calculations. Although some of the
difference can be attributed to non-occupiable spaces (e.g., mechanical rooms, inactive stairwells, shafts, and gross
versus net area) and space types that are only required to meet the exhaust requirements of Table 6-4 (e.g., restrooms,
kitchens) a justification for any difference in excess of roughly 10% must be provided. All occupiable spaces (which can
include regularly occupied, non-regularly occupied, and unconditioned areas) must be provided with ventilation that
meets the minimum requirements in accordance with ASHRAE 62.1-2007. Update the Ventilation Rate Procedure
calculations to include all occupiable spaces and ensure that the area is reported consistently among all credits. If the
difference in area is greater than 10%, provide a detailed narrative that describes the approximate area breakdown of the
excluded spaces by space type to confirm that all occupiable spaces have been included in the calculations.

2. It is unclear how the ventilation air is delivered for the entrance lobby, elevator halls, and for the spaces named as
Agencia Banco and Cafeteria. Provide mechanical plans indicating the outdoor air intake designed to all elevator halls,
entrance lobby, Agencia Banco, and Cafeteria, or provide a narrative and documentation that these spaces meet ASHRAE
62.1-2007 Section 5 requirements (Natural Ventilation). Update the VRP calculations as necessary.

3. The outdoor airflow reported for many spaces are inconsistent with the design outdoor airflow indicated in the
mechanical plans provided in PIf4: Schedule and Overview Documents. For example, the outdoor airflow reported for
AHU-N02-03 is 340 cfm, while the design outdoor airflow indicated in the mechanical plans is 260 cfm. Revise the VRP
calculation spreadsheet, ensuring the reported outdoor airflow rate in the VRP calculations are consistent with the design
documentation. If the revised calculation shows that the design outdoor airflow rate of any system is lower than the
calculated outdoor airflow rate required by ASHRAE 62.1, because the construction phase of the project was complete,
and the project was occupied in May 1st, 2017, additional documentation must be provided to show any revisions for
prerequisite compliance have been implemented and commissioned. Provide signed change orders, as-built drawings,
