All,

I have a question of the energy modeling requirement based on the
contract modification. We have previously completed an energy analysis
for a LEED CS project and finished EA credit 1 documentation. This
project has been in the construction administration phase over one year.
Recently, a new auditorium is to be added in the courtyard as a contract
modification (new addition to the existing building). The auditorium is
detached from the base building and will use a separate mechanical
system.

Are we required to update the energy model for EA credit 1 for this new
auditorium? I know that a CIR may be helpful for us, but it will take
sometime. I just want to ask if anyone has some similar experience from
USGBC and would like to share? Thanks for your help,

Best regards,

Eric Yang
