We have a project in which they are attempting to use EnergyPro to show compliance for credits EAp2 and EAc1. Has LEED been accepting of EnergyPro models for this credit, when it does not allow for very detailed inputs into the model, vs. more complex software like eQuest or Design Builder? If we submit an EnergyPro model, since it automatically generates the baseline model for you, how do we fill out all the info for the Excel sheet Section 1.4 Tables for LEED, if we don't know the inputs they used? Does LEED still require this Excel sheet if you submit an EnergyPro model? Also, the energy model was previously built on EnergyPro version 6 (6.0.5.4), which only allows for simulations vs. ASHRAE 90.1 - 2010. While EnergyPro version 5 allows for simulations vs. ASHRAE 90.1 - 2007, it does not allow you do open models created in version 6 or allow you to backsave down to version 5, once it's been opened in version 6. Would LEED accept an EnergyPro model ran on EnergyPro version 6 against ASHRAE 90.1 - 2010, since it should be stricter than 2007 anyways? Or will we need to start over from scratch either on EnergyPro version 5 or another program such as eQuest or Design Builder? Thanks,
