EQ c7.1, 2.2 for naturally ventilated buildings in mild climate

There's a section in ASHRAE 55 (5.3) specifically written for naturally ventilated spaces. If the project complies with that section then they meet ASHRAE 55 conditions as required by LEED. I believe the section applies to spaces that have operable windows, and cooling is primarily by unconditioned outdoor air. If you do the calculations and your project cannot earn EQc7.1, LEED does not allow you to earn EQc7.2. LEED reviewers will question EQc7.1 compliance and wait to award EQc7.2 until 7.1 is awarded.
