All,
There is a credit in LEED (EQc2.0) that involves increasing the required
ventilation rate by 30%. In trying to achieve this credit, the amount
of energy would have to increase to condition that additional 30% OSA.
Does anyone know if you are supposed to increase the baseline energy
model's ventilation rate so it has the same ventilation rate as the
proposed building? Thank you in advance for your help.
