Does anyone have an example of a LEED Form completed for natural ventilation they would be willing to share? There does not appear to be one in the "documentation toolkit".
Alternatively, can anyone describe how they did this? What was used for the "System Name and Number" vs the "Zone".
We have a 342-unit high-rise residential building, with 61 different apartment layouts. Do I need to list every apartment as a "System Name", and each room in the apartment as a "zone", or can I list each of the 61 unique types as a "System Name"? Can this done on a separate spreadsheet, or must it be done in the LEED Form? Should I be taking a different approach all together?
Thanks!

In the past, I have included color coded floor plans indicating operable openings, an 8m radius for the opening, and the square footage being naturally ventilated by each. I also include a narrative to explain the natural ventilation design and any mixed mode conditions.

Thank you Andrew -
Can you tell me:
1) Did you include a plan for every single floor, or representative floors? (We have a 20-story high rise apartment with several hundred units.)
2) How did you complete the LEED Online Form? For "System Name and Number, did you use a room name (or number)?? Is "Zone" the window within the room, or the room within the unit?
3) Did you submit a spreadsheet in lieu of (or in addition to) the LEED Online Form?
Thanks so much!

1) Yes
2) On the form that I used, there was a natural ventilation section that I filled out. I also referred to my floor plans.
3) I submitted the floor plans.
