LEED energy model and MEP credits
The challenge
The residence hall was built design-build on a fast track, and the original MEP design came from another engineer. The LEED Silver target needed an energy model and MEP credit documentation, and NJ DCA plan-review comments had to be answered while construction was under way.
What Concord did
- LEED v4 energy model for the new six-story building. Concord's LEED proposal is dated December 2014.
- Documentation of the MEP credits: 18 points toward LEED Silver.
- Contractor MEP drawings checked and reissued under Concord's title block.
- Submittal reviews for the cooling towers, heat pumps, penthouse unit, make-up air units, fire/smoke dampers, heat trace and fire alarm system.
- Responses to NJ DCA plan-review comments, including a March 2017 comment on the gas riser to the standby generator.
Outcome
- Concord's LEED letter of November 29, 2018 documented 18 MEP points toward LEED Silver.
- Responses to the NJ DCA gas-riser comment issued March 17, 2017.
