Points are awarded dependent on project scope, up to a maximum of 5 points:

• New Construction . One point for each 25 ASHRAE 90.1-2022, Section 11 energy credits documented for eligible measures.

• Core and Shell — projects with central systems. One point for each 13 ASHRAE 90.1-2022, Section 11 energy credits documented for eligible measures. This encompasses any project with Core and Shell scope of work that includes central boilers, chillers, service water heating equipment, or loop pumping systems with heat rejection such as water- or ground-source heat pump loops.

• Core and Shell — projects without central systems. One point for each nine ASHRAE 90.1-2022, Section 11 energy credits documented for eligible measures.

Example. Path 1. Regulated Loads, Case 1. ASHRAE 90.1-2019 A New Construction retail project in climate zone 4A achieves 52 energy credits from three eligible measures, earning two LEED Points.

- H02: HVAC Heating Performance Improvement. 20% or greater weighted average

improvement in ASHRAE 90.1-2019 heating efficiency achieves 28 energy credits per 90.1-2022, Table 11.5.3-6 and adjustment equations from 11.5.2.2.2 .

- L04: Increased Daylighting Control Area. 65% of total daylighting area with

continuous daylight dimming achieves four energy credits per ASHRAE 90.1-2019, Table 11.5.3-6.

- L06: Reduce Interior Lighting Power. 10% or greater improvement in _ASHRAE 90.1-_

2019 regulated lighting power achieves 20 energy credits per ASHRAE 90.1-2019, Table 11.5.3-6 and allowed adjustments from 11.5.2.5.6 .

ECeligible = EC_H02 + EC_L04 + EC_L06 ECeligible = 28 + 4 + 20 = 52

Ineligible measures such as E01: Improved Envelope Performance or R01: On-site Renewable Energy do not contribute towards achievement of points under Case 1.

Case 2. ASHRAE 90.1-2022

Minimum Required by ASHRAE 90.1-2022 Projects earn 4 New Construction points or 2 Core and Shell points for complying with EAp2: Minimum Energy Efficiency, Option 2. ASHRAE 90.1-2022 using the prescriptive method. Any ASHRAE 90.1-2022, Section 11.5.2 efficiency measures may be used to achieve the minimum energy credits required by 2022 Section 11 for the project’s building type and climate zone.
