Im working on a C&S building and we have two space types: office and meting rooms. I would like to know if I can use occupant diversity (D) for the outdoor air calculations. The ventilation table on the LEED ONLINE form doesn´t take the diversity into account, should I upload my calculations under special circumstances?

Ruben, you may account for occupant diversity in your calculations. Upload your calculations and assumptions demonstrating the relevant ASHRAE 62.1 equations used.
