Climatic Design LLC has performed a whole-building energy model simulation, a comprehensive energy analysis, and an assessment of the building systems and configuration for the Reno Student Housing. Multiple Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) were modeled. With the execution of the selected ECMs, the proposed design not only meets Minimum Energy Performance requirement but also qualifies for additional LEED points. Based on the Performance Output tab of final Minimum Energy Performance Calculator, the facility is approximately 24.5% more energy cost efficient than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 reference model. Upon the approval by GBCI, the project would achieve 10 points from the Optimize Energy Performance credit.
