Hi, for the HVAC Equipment points (5), our project meets the requirements of sections 1.4 and 2.9 of the core performance guide but not 3.10 since the system is constant volume (as most VRF and inverter split unit types are). Does this mean we cannot score any points at all?

Correct, you must meet all three criteria to earn any points.

Thanks Marcus. Our only hope for the full 10 points is via the modelling route then, although 30% HVAC saving is quite challenging.
