Regional Applications
- USA & Canada – LEED Credits for:
- Minimum & Increased Energy Performance
- Minimum & Increased Ventilation (IAQ)
- Renewable Energy Production
- Florida Building Code 2020
- UK & Europe – LEED (USA) well known within the region while Italy has just implemented its own version
- Middle East & Asia – LEED (USA) rating system very well known within the region, plus, both Estidama and The Masdar Approach reference and use ASHRAE 90.1
- India– LEED – India rating system uses ASHRAE 90.1 methodology
- Australia & NZ – ASHRAE 90.1 HVAC system prototypes important for the Industrial & Public Building and Healthcare Green Star protocols. GBCA moving towards JV3 performance based model using these standard ASHRAE systems
