NC-2009 IEQc2:Increased Ventilation

How to Claim Credits for Natural Ventilation in Multifamily High

What is the methodology for LEED projects to claim credits (if possible?) for natural ventilation in dwelling units? In the building I am working on, only openable windows are used for natural ventilation, there is no engineered system. Cooling / heating will be provided by VRF units. Can one make an assumption that occupied spaces will be ventilated by natural means during the times they are occupied in the proposed case, while for the baseline case mechanical ventilation will apply? Thank you

Zhao, it sounds like you are asking a question about energy savings that would fall under EAp2, not a question about ventilation effectiveness that falls here, under IEQc2.
