I am working on a LEED project in Qatar and wanted to query USGBC on using aircooled chillers in the baseline building instead of water cooled chillers. Has anyone requested permission to change the baseline HVAC system for energy modelling and received a positive answer ?

I think that this question has been asked in the past and denied. I am not aware of any baseline system changes outside the standard being granted. Make sure to check the exceptions to G3.1.1 to see if any apply.
