LEED Interpretation #2099, issued 4/24/2008, allows the use of circuit transducers that measure fan status of 100% outside air and constant volume fan systems as an alternative to an airflow measuring station for this credit. For constant volume and 100% outside air systems that have been accurately balanced, monitoring the fan status is adequate to maintain proper outside air volumes. This is not an appropriate strategy for variable volume systems.
Question
If my project is using air handlers that supply 100% outside air at a constant volume, do I still need to install an airflow monitoring device?
