Hello,

I am working on the energy simulation of a hotel building of two floor
height and one lakh square foot.
Is ASHRAE 90.1-2004 and LEED NC applicable for this project?

I found the following relevant sections;

LEED NC Page 14, "III A : When to Use LEED for New Construction" ,
according to this, hotel of any size is a commercial occupancy and LEED NC
is applicable.

According to ASHRAE 90.1-2004 definition of "low rise residential" as
given on Page 9, hotels doesn't come under low rise residential buildings.
And as per the foot notes of Table G3.1.1A on page 176 of Appendix G ASHRAE
90.1-2004, hotel is considered as a residential building but not a low rise
residential building and ASHRAE is only not applicable to low rise
residential building.

applicable for this project, however it would be great if anyone can give
more inputs in this regard.

Thanks & Regards,
