Natural Ventilation in Cold Climates

Hello, I am curious about implimenting natural ventilation in climate zone 6 where the winter temperatures can be very cold. Does LEED take into account climate zones when looking at natural ventilation, or can I just follow the general guidlines of 4% floor area and 20' to windows? Thanks.

LEED only says that you must comply with ASHRAE 62.1. ASHRAE makes no distinction for climate zones.
