Hi,
I received these technical advices but I don't really understand what they're asking me to add to the M&V Plan:
1. Specification of analytical techniques, algorithms, and/or software tools (name and version number), including any stipulated
parameters or operating conditions, and the range of conditions to which the techniques, algorithms, and software tools apply.
2.Final input/output files including important assumptions and any unusual modeling techniques employed during the development of
the model.
Is a C&S certification and the building is an office only type.
Thank you very much for your help!

1. How are you doing the calculations associated with the M&V, what software are you using? See the IPMVP Section 3.2 for more information on what should be in the Plan.
2. What models are you using to do the calibration? I assume it would be the same models you used for EAp2. Did you do any work arounds or use any atypical modeling procedures?

For point (1) above is it suffice to say
"The software tool used will be IES VE Version 2015.2.2.0. The energy model which was prepared for LEED credit EAp2 and EAc1 shall be used and will be calibrated in accordance with IPMVP Volume III.
This simulation software will be used to ensure that model is calibrated for both summer and winter conditions"

Hard to say but the comment certainly asks for more than you are providing. I personally do not use that stock language comment as it is somewhat confusing to me. Maybe all they want is the software used and assurances that it is capable of modeling the parameters, operating conditions and other conditions associated with the project.
