LEED 2.2 for manufacturing facility

It is my understanding that we use App G for LEED energy credit analysis of
manufacturing facility (which has some offices etc.) and all the
manufacturing load counted as process load. Is this correct?

This is based on the LEED 2.2 narative in the energy credit section
(Standard 90.1 establishes minimum requirements for the energy-efficient
design of buildings, except low-rise residential buildings. The provisions
of this standard do not apply to single-family houses, multi-family
structures of three stories or fewer above grade, manufactured houses
(mobile homes) and manufactured houses (modular), or buildings that do not
use either electricity or fossil fuel).

The following bullet number 3 in the ashrae standard has me confused, but it
is not included in the LEED 2.2 narative.

2.3 The provisions of this standard do not apply to:

(a) single-family houses, multi-family structures of three stories or fewer
above grade, manufactured houses (mobile homes) and manufactured houses
(modular),

(b) buildings that do not use either electricity or fossil fuel, or

(c) equipment and portions of building systems that use energy primarily to
provide for industrial, manufacturing, or commercial processes.

Thanks

LEED?s use of 90.1 is as an adaptation. 90.1 as a code does not apply to
manufacturing facilities, but LEED adapts 90.1 to apply to all inhabited
commercial buildings and residential 4 stories and higher buildings.

Your first statement as it relates to LEED is correct.

Hey Dru,

Yep my language was not precise enough.

It gets problematic for these types of facilities, not on the energy side but in meeting the LEED MPRs. These types of facilities can demonstrate energy savings.

Minimum program requirement #5 says that a LEED project has to have at least 1 FTE occupant.
