This is partly a product of the fact that this particular credit language came over from LEED-ND, which was designed to address neighborhood scale projects in which it would...

that there is a 'parking lot' space type in PM, so I think I should include the headbolt heaters in that space type. Does that sound right? Finally, somewhere in the MPR guidance, it mentions dividing up supporting land (parking, hardscape, etc.) proportionally if it is shared with another building. Using that logic, should I proportionally assign the electrical usage of the parking lot (headbolt heaters) to each...

Hello all, is it true that "Whenever credit is taken for demand control ventilation in the Proposed Case, the outside air ventilation rates for the Baseline Case must be modeled using minimum ASHRAE 62.1-2007 rates"? It sounds strange because for achieving the DCV credit we have to demonstrate the increase of the outside air (according to Italian standard, outside flowrate is 30% bigger than the 62.1 minimum outdoor flowrate). So how could it be positive for IEQp1 and negative for EAp2? Thank you a lot EAp2 ...
