Hi Everyone,
If anyone has a question regarding the how the LLTs for CaGBC's LEED 2009 program function, just ask away.
I was wondering if someone has had experience with entering IEQc6.2 - Thermal Comfort. When I put in any space, regardless if I state there is a thermal control, the LLT spits back that the space is 100% controlled.
Anyone have a similar experience / found a quick fix?

Hi Lorne,
We (Enermodal) helped the CaGBC in completing the updates to the Canada NC 2009 LEED Letter Template file which was issued at the start of August (2012).
The item noted here, as well as a number of other issues, is corrected in the updated template file (version b).
Version b also includes direction for the split submission approach (design/construction submissions).
Another update is coming out soon to address Regional Priority, based on the results of the recent LEED AP vote.
Download the new version of the templates at: http://bit.ly/NDHavq
This is also a good chance to download and review the updated MPRs and MPR checklist (same link, above)
If you find future errors in the template files, direct those issues to CaGBC's Customer Service, who track errors and coordinate updates.

Hi Braden,
Thanks for the reply! We have updated all of our LLT files and are good to go for our new projects, as well as the ones that are split review.
We are not sure if this is possible at the office, but you would be the best person to ask!
Is there anyway to transfer tabs from an older version of the LLT onto a newer version considering they are locked.

No. Because there were some logic changes to each of the tabs you can't just bring in old tabs.
FYI - with the pending release of Version C (in about a week), I would hold off on updating, if you can, to get the full functionality for the RP points (lets you select province and region, then tells you what is available as an RP point).
Watch the CaGBC website for more info.

Hi,
Can anyone let me know where in the LEED 2009 Guide stating that AHSRAE weather design conditions must be used i.e 1% for cooling and 99.6% for heating?
Thank you!

Use the climate zones in the National Building Code of Canada.

Thank you, John!
So 1% for cooling and 99.6% for heating will not apply?

I do not believe so, it depends on the region......

Hi,
Can someone please let me know if cooling or heating is allowed to be oversized and by how much before getting penalties?
Thank you so much in advance!
