Please take a minute to review these instructions before running and submitting a LEED calculation using EnergyGauge Summit v 3.22.

Pre-submittal tasks

EnergyGauge is about to enter all your data in your LEED EA Credit 1 template. Please review all the information on the template before submission.

NOTE: Do not edit the PDF template displayed by the software as that data is not saved. Display is for review purposes only

If you need to make any changes to the inputs, please close the template and make the changes in the EnergyGauge inputs screens

 

Post-submittal tasks

Once you have submitted your LEED EA Credit 1 data through the EnergyGauge software, please download your EAc1 PDF template for that project from the LEEDOnline website. If your submission was successful, this template should now contain all the outputs from the LEED simulation runs.

Review the template for any incorrect entries and enter all additional entries not handled by EnergyGauge. These include, but are not limited to:

• External Lighting Data - Annual external lighting energy use must be added for both proposed and baseline buildings as new entries in tables 1.8.1 and 1.8.2. This value should generally be the same for both the proposed and baseline buildings unless otherwise justified.

• Water Heating Data - EnergyGauge does not currently simulate annual energy use for certain water heaters. If an entry for domestic hot water use is missing from table 1.8.1 and 1.8.2, then such an entry must be added at this point.
• Any other missing data that may be required by the USGBC should be added into the template at this point.

The PDF template should now be re-submitted manually (not through EnergyGauge) for final review of the project by the USGBC.

Any changes/additions made to the template after its submission through the EnergyGauge software will have to be repeated should you require to re-run the calculations using the EnergyGauge software.
