It has been a number of years (NC v2.1 actually), but I was told by the USGBC then that 100% outside air supplied through units, outside the context of natural ventilation, works against efficiency and optimal IEQ controls and so was NOT an ID. Things may hve changed since, but think about your project through those two lenses and perhaps you will find the best direction - every project is different after all.
