An office project will have a 5% energy improvement over a baseline building. The project team is considering increasing ventilation. The project uses mechanical ventilation. This change could have a negative impact on:

A: EQ Credit Daylight
B: EA Prerequisite Fundamental Refrigerant Management
C: EA Prerequisite Minimum Energy Performance
D: EA Credit Optimize Energy Performance

参考答案: C

本题解释:
选择C，本题解释Increasing the ventilation of a building that uses mechanical ventilation will require a larger HVAC system capacity and greater energy use. Since the baseline building energy performance would change, EA Prerequisite Minimum Energy Performance will be impacted.
The building has a 5% energy performance improvement which is enough for the prerequisite but falls short of the minimum for Optimize Energy Performance. Since the project cannot earn Optimize Energy Performance, this credit will not be affected.
