Schools-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Does anyone out there know what the following comment pertains to:
Provide additional information (Mech-5C report) to verify that the Proposed Case Carrier units have been modeled at a 50% minimum CFM ratio, consistent with equipment specifications.
Our mechanical engineer has modeled this equipment at 30% and I cannot find anyhting in the reference model that provides me with more information.

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?
For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?
Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?
Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?
Can mezzanines open to floors below be excluded from the energy model?

Our project has a diesel backup generator. Should we include it in our energy model?
Can SHGC be higher in the proposed than in the baseline model?

I assume this is a LEED review comment.
Sounds like the reviewer saw the 50% value somewhere in the documentation provided for the project (maybe in the information uploaded in PIf4). They then compared it to what was modeled and noted a discrepancy. So you either fix it in the model to be consistent with the documentation or explain why the two values do not match.
