I am modeling a 2-story office building which is going for LEED Gold.
When building the model, do you input the baseline information into the
wizard mode and use the detailed section, "Energy Efficiency Measure" to
change all of the inputs for how the building is going to be built? Or do
you input your proposed "improved" model in the wizard mode the way it is
going to be built (ex: using windows U=0.29 instead of Title-24 minimum
requirements)? If so, does the compliance report automatically compare the
minimum T-24 building energy usage vs. the "improved" building's energy
usage? Thanks in advance for your help.
