Does anyone have a sample for the upload required for IEQ P1:

"Graphic and numeric summary of the airflow analysis performed. Include the boundary conditions used for the analysis, simulation algorithm, solution variables, temperatures, airflow volumes and mean age of air for the spaces modeled."

The prerequisite compliance should either be a calculation of the ventilation rates (as shown in IEQp1 Tables 1, 2 and 3 of the LEED Reference Guide) or it should be a table stating compliance with the prescriptive requirements of ASHRAE 62.1 Section 5.1 (as shown in IEQp1 Table 4). Your quoted text seems over the top for the Prerequisite; perhaps is it a review comment for an attempt at IEQc2 using natural ventilation?

I think Amanda is correct. I am dealing with the same text also. 62.1-2007 section 4 is about this measurement and I have not found a reason for exclusion. Of course, the outdoor air should be good, but organizing a detailed measurement for this requirement is a load on the budget.

Does anyone have experience in this one? On what ruling should I know that it is not needed?
