app g economizer

A simple Q -

Does everyone agree that the App G baseline building is supposed to have an air-side economizer (in the mentioned climates)?

There are some buildings where architectural choices make it difficult to accommodate an air-side economizer.

Nonetheless, Section G3.1.2.6 appears to require modeling specifically an air-side economizer for the baseline

I am thinking it could be a bit ambiguous depending on what you think "outdoor air economizer" means.

Has anyone seen interpretations clarifying this one way or the other?
Or submitted a CIR to allow water-side economizers in the baseline where that is the industry standard for the building type?
