Hello,
I am wondering if there is a document that describes what the baseline case efficiencies should be for an arena ice plant for LEED 2009?
My suspicion is that there isn?t such a document and that one would have to apply an exceptional calculation listing the sources of information for establishing the baseline case efficiencies.

Christopher,
ASHRAE had a whole cover story about an Ice Area a few months back (March 2012 and September 2015).
These may have useful information/contacts.

Hi Chris,
Here it is. I don?t think ASHRAE 90.1 has any additional requirements but there are some rather vague requirements in the 2011 NECB and 1997 MNECB. These statements don?t belong in a code:
?Where an ice arena or a curling rink has
a heating requirement, the refrigeration system shall
incorporate means of recovering heat rejected by the
system to the extent that the heat recovered can be
used to satisfy some or all of the heating
requirements (see Appendix E).?
Appendix E:
?Heat recovered from refrigeration
equipment can be used for space heating, service
water heating or heating the soil beneath the ice
surface to prevent frost heave.?
