Hi all,
I am working on my first LEED modelling work with IES and wondering what documents are needed for the submission for EAp2 and EAc1. I suppose it should include 1) BPRM Report from IES and 2) v2009_Minimum Energy Performance Calculator (Section 1.4 Table). Can anybody give me some ideas? Many thanks!!

The input summary reports from IES-VE are sorely lacking when it comes to summarizing the HVAC inputs. So that makes it doubly important to fill out the calculator input summaries as accurately as possible. As far as I know those two items are all you can submit. The only other thought I have would be to provide screen captures in a separate report that summarizes the IES-VE HVAC inputs, especially if anything is even slightly anomalous and needs some further explanation than is provided in the calculator.

The BPRM and Table 1.4 are all I typically provide for the first submission unless we are modeling something odd that requires further explanation. I agree with Marcus about the input reports though. You want to be as detailed and clear as possible in filling out table 1.4 because the lack of HVAC inputs. Then I provide screen shots based on specific questions in the review comments rather than taking a screen shot of everything for the initial review.
