REDIT REQUIREMENT
Up to a maximum of 14 credits for using energy efficient systems and
controls that will reduce the energy consumption of the project space.
Building systems include HVAC&R and lighting.
Applicants may choose either, the Performance-based or the
Prescriptive-based approach avoiding double counting environmental
impacts.

Criteria
Completed documentation shall be submitted for each feature
installed for the project space. The documentation shall detail the
essential information of the installed system.
Credit(s) may not be achieved if the installed feature is not going to
operate as intent. For example, occupancy sensor is unlikely to turn
off lighting in shopping area of a 24/7 convenience store.
Credit(s) shall be achieved where one or more of the following
features are installed, providing the energy efficient features meet all
of the following conditions:
i.
Installed by the Applicant;
ii.
Serve the project space;
iii.
Meet the minimum system requirements outlined in
Appendix 9.1 for respective features.
HVAC&R Systems
i.
1 credit for appropriate zoning and thermostat
distribution;
ii.
1 credit for occupancy sensors and/or programmable timers
controlling HVACR operation;
iii.
1 credit for automatic blinds controlled by daylight sensor
reducing air conditioning demand;
iv.
1 credit for ceiling or wall mounted fans increasing air
circulation hence reducing air conditioning demand;
v.
1 credit for variable speed drive fan coil units or high
efficiency motors;
vi.
1 credit for high efficiency air conditioning units;
vii.
1 credit for heat recovery system;
viii.
1 credit for CO
2
sensors controlling fresh air rate (irrespective
of ownership);
ix.
1 credit for complying with the installation positions for air-
conditioning units;
x.
1 credit for HVACR system operating with free cooling under
enthalpy control (irrespective of ownership);
xi.
1 credit for openable windows for mixed mode/natural
ventilation;
