An ASHRAE Level 1 walkthrough analysis contributes to what prerequisite or credit?
A . Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Building-Level Energy Metering
B . Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Enhanced Refrigerant Management
C . Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Minimum Energy Performance
D . Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Energy Efficiency Best Management Practices

View Answer

Answer: D

Explanation:

An ASHRAE Level 1 walkthrough analysis is a preliminary evaluation of a building’s energy systems to identify obvious energy efficiency opportunities and potential areas for improvement. This type of analysis aligns with the Energy Efficiency Best Management Practices by establishing a baseline understanding of the building’s energy use and identifying simple, low-cost measures to improve energy efficiency. It does not directly relate to building-level energy metering, refrigerant management, or the minimum energy performance standards, which are more technical and specific in nature.
