I am working on a project in Dubai, the design engineer has performed a psychrometric analysis using 46.0°C (DB) and 29°C (WB) for climatic design cooling conditions. The project space is cooling only, as there are no heating requirements in Dubai. How would this be documented on the LEED IEQc7.1 form? Would we use the dry bulb or wet bulb temperature for the cooling climatic design condition? Do we leave the heating design condition field blank, and write a narrative explaining the extreme climate where the project is located?

In a current project in Nigeria there's no heating requirement. We filled the cooling design condition in the heating section as well and commented this in special circumstances.This was ok for the reviewer.

The temperature that should be entered is the Dry Bulb temperature. A brief narrative including the average low temperature should confirm that no heating is required.
