Adopt passive architectural design features to minimize negative environmental impacts.
Compliance Options: Option 1: Simulation Approach Demonstrate that the passive architecture measures implemented in the project has resulted in at least 2% energy savings of total annual energy consumption (through whole building simulation approach). Option 2: Prescriptive Approach Demonstrate that the project has implemented at least one of the following passive measures that result in energy savings: (1 point for each measure; maximum 2 points)
Exemplary Performance: This credit is not eligible for exemplary performance.
Procedure for Site Preservation
Step-1
Adopt Passive design features
Adopt passive architectural design features to minimize negative environmental impacts.
Step-2
Simulate or Prescribe
Simulate the passive technique used and show that it reduces at least 10% annual energy savings. Or demonstrate that the project has used any of the passive strategies mentioned in the IGBC manual.
Step-3
Documentation
Submit narratives and calculations of the energy savings of passive strategy implemented.
