Advanced Energy Modeling for LEED, Technical Manual v1.0

The Advanced Energy Modeling for LEED, Technical Manual v1.0 was developed by USGBC to guide project teams and LEED reviewers on EA Credit 1 requirements and documentation. The objective is to provide further information on EA Credit 1, streamline the LEED documentation process, and provide a greater degree of consistency for both LEED applications and reviewer comments. This manual should be considered a guiding document on EA Credit 1 requirements. The intended users of this manual are both LEED reviewers and applicants with intermediate or advanced understanding of energy modeling, referenced standards, and energy codes. 7group contributed content to this manual.

The Manual is available free of charge to LEED registered projects. A copy can be downloaded within both versions of LEED Online. The Manual is also available under the Reference Guide Supplements section of the USGBC Store.
