Calibrated vs actual energy use

Dear all, What if the case is that the actual total energy use diverted only around 1 to 3 percent of the predicted energy during design? Is a calibrated energy simulation model still need by LEED and can the submission summarise and compare between actual and predicted..tq and hope for reply soon

Sorry but I don't understand the first question. You can't just compare the actual energy use to the modeled energy use. You must calibrate the model under Option D.
