Both would need to be accounted for in the modeling results. The free heat would assume that there is waste heat recovery associated with the microturbine system. If the software cannot model this system for LEED then you need to provide a work...

Hello to all,

When I am building the proposed building in my energy model has the design temperature in Cooling differ from the design temperature in Heating +5 oF?

For example if...

The F-factor accounts for the edge treatment since this is where most of the heat loss occurs. Think of it like a whole assembly U-value of sorts. Some...
