Dear community,

I am wondering how I should read the language of the 90.1 in the following case:
- My project includes lots of process and related HVAC, which have been designed to 90% completion stage according to the turn-key terminology
- But an important part of the process will not be installed at this stage and therefore the construction drawings won't show this part, neither in terms of machine process nor in terms of related HVAC. Only provisions are there.

If I read the 90.1 2007 I can find only the following, which is related to the topic:
"When the performance rating method is applied to buildings in which energy related features have not yet been designed (e.g., a lighting system), those yet-to be-designed features shall be described in the proposed design exactly as they are defined in the baseline building design. Where the space classification for a space is not known, the space shall be categorized as an office space."
Clearly, according to this statement, I should model the project as it is event thought it won't be installed now and that we don't have the construction drawings wich will correspond to the very future installation.

"Where the HVAC zones and systems have not yet been designed, thermal blocks shall be defined based on similar internal load densities, occupancy, lighting, thermal and space temperature schedules, and in combination with the following guidelines"
In this case again, it is pretty clear that what defines the condition to simulate a generic space is the condition of whether or not it has been defined.

Now, in both these statement, I see one point which is not clear: "not yet designed" for LEED means "not emitted the construction drawings" or "not designed at all"?

You see my worry is that I do not define the baseline properly if this very point is not clear.

Thank you for your clarifications,
