Is the monitoring of mechanical ventilation always mandatory or do exceptions exist?

e.g, is it mandatory also if there is no recirculation (100% outdoor air)?

Projects do not have to have outdoor airflow monitoring devices installed to earn the prerequisite. The required measurements can be taken once during the performance period with the proper equipment.

Ben, you might be a little confused here. There is no performance period in the BD+C rating systems. Also, I believe that the monitoring equipment must be permanently installed. Taking measurements once (e.g. during air balancing) would not meet the intent of the credit.

Your right Adam, I was thinking of existing buildings rather than NC. Thanks for clarifying
