The LEED form wants you to enter your Target Finder score, but the reviewers do not use that info directly to judge the accuracy of you model, so go ahead and put in the number what ever your result is. Answers to your specific questions. 1) your rating is what it is. Ideally, you should be over 75, but it really depends on a lot of things, and the Target Finder is a pretty crude tool. It's really there more as sanity check. If your score is at the very high or very low end, you may want to take another look at your model. 2) Yes. Put something in there. 3) No. If your model shows only 16kBTU/sf/yr, I think you need to go back and check your model. I'd be surprised if your lights and plug loads were that low, never mind the heating and cooling.
