A new library will have a 10% energy improvement over a baseline building. The project
team is considering earning an additional point for Indoor Environmental Quality Credit,
Increased Ventilation. The project uses mechanical ventilation. This change could have a
negative impact on what area of the project?
A: Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Fundamental Refrigerant Management
B: Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance
C: Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Minimum Energy Performance
D: Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Measurement and Verification

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:
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, Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Minimum Energy Performance will be impacted.
The building has a 10% 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.
