20. Which, if any, of the EA credits are available for Regional Priority points in the following
major cities? (See Chap. 7.)
A. New York City
B. Houston, TX
C. Los Angeles, CA
D. Portland, OR
E. Miami, FL
F. Kansas City, MO
21. NO are a collection of nitrogen oxide air pollutants produced from combustion, mainly
x
from transportation (mobile) and energy generation (stationary) sources. In a city, assume that
60 percent of the NO emissions are from mobile sources and 40 percent are from stationary
x
fossil fuel power sources. If the background NO concentration coming into this city is 30 μg/m 3
x
from agricultural and other upwind sources, and this together with emissions within the city
3
produces an average “Box Model” concentration of 110 μg/m , then what would the new average
concentration be estimated at if the stationary source emissions were reduced by 35 percent due
to LEED practices?
22. You wish to use the prescriptive method for EAc1. Look for the “ASHRAE Advanced Energy
Design Guides” on the Internet and download one of the guides. Prepare a minimum 500 word
summary of this guide for the region where your home town is (name your home town and region).
If your last name starts with A–F, summarize the guide for Small Warehouses and Self-Storage
Buildings, with G–L, summarize the guide for Small Office Buildings, with M–Q, summarize the
guide for K–12 School Buildings, or with R–Z, summarize the guide for Small Retail Buildings.
