Dear All,
Is there a document / guideline somewhere that includes tips on how to
do residential energy modeling? I find that the LEED reference guide and
the ASHRAE standard are not dealing sufficiently with how to model
lighting, natural ventilation, plug loads etc. in multifamily
residential buildings.
Thank you,

The ENERGY STAR Multifamily High Rise Program Simulation Guidelines are
great, and are referenced in the LEED for Homes Multifamily program. The
only problem is that there are multiple versions/editions of the standards
floating around out there on the interwebs. I think this is the latest and
greatest, but I can't confirm.
