Hello!
We have a canteen project in Shanghai. The building has three floors, total GFA is 64,067 square feet. The baseline HVAC system type is system 6.
In the second floor, there are only two air conditoned zones, dining area (12,588 sf2) and restroom (415 sf2). The dining area need to use DCV in baseline system. We have two questions about the model of eQUEST:
1. Do we need to use system 4 for the dining area and system 6 for the restroom? or both use system 6? or system 6 for the dining area and system 4 for the restroom?
2. Shall we use the minimum ventilation rates for the baseline system?
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

1. See Section G3.1.1. For a system 6 you need to model it in the baseline as a system per floor. You also must apply any of the applicable exceptions to G3.1.1.
2. The ventilation rates must be identical to the Proposed unless the Proposed has DCV.
