Hi, I am working on a large project in Australia that has used local code. The local code is more stringent than 62.1 however needs to be documented for the submission. I was intending on working out some spaces which i deem to be worst case to show the outside air at the unit complies. However the LEED form asks for the required outdoor air intake and needs a baseline to show 30% better from. So I am wondering: 1) Has anyone documented the pre-requisite without doing the full 62.1 calculations to show equivalence 2) Has anyone documented the +30% credit without doing the full 62.1 calculations to show equivalence Thanks

Victoria, if you are complying with the more stringent requirements (which exceed ALL of the ASHRAE 62.1 requirements) then you should be fine with meeting the intent of the prerequisite and increased credit. That being said, meeting the intent, and documenting it are much different things. My recommendation is that you simply document using the ASHRAE 62.1 and LEED template. This is a much easier way to attain the credits since the LEED reviewers will be seeing the same thing they always do, and if you need to resubmit, you will be able to get more help.
