I am currently working on a LEED v4 Healthcare project, and the Minimum IAQ Performance calculator does not have space types that would be typical for a medical center or hospital. I feel we can pick a space type from the original list that best matches with the space types in the hospital, but I feel like a lot of the space types in the hospital may not match at all with any of the given spaces types in the calculator.
Has anyone had the same issues with their calculators?

Your combined ASHRAE 170 and 62.1 calcs must be provided for Min IAQ on LEED HC projects. There is not a LEED calculator that includes ASHRAE 170 space types and requirements, so the one used by the design firm is typically submitted. You just need to make sure it is as clear as the 62.1 they provide.
