Which of the following resources would help the tenant meet the requirements of Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance?

A tenant moving into an existing building will need to install new HVAC, power, lighting systems and other equipment.

Which of the following resources would help the tenant meet the requirements of Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance?
A . Green Seal Standard 11
B . ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010
C . ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010
D . South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)

Answer: C

Explanation:

The ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010 is the benchmark for energy efficiency in building design, providing minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of buildings except low-rise residential buildings. It is directly referenced in LEED v4 for the Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance, as it sets the baseline for energy performance.

Reference: The LEED v4 Reference Guide for Interior Design and Construction specifically mentions ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010 as a key standard for establishing the baseline for the Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance12.
