we have a new addition added to an existing facility. The consultant has decided to pursuit NC for this project, therefore the question comes if there is an existing area within the LEED boundary with existing AC units that wont be modified, do these units need to comply with the minimum OA required as well? In the case that they take these existing areas out of the LEED boundary, only the new equipment will need to be Tested and Balanced, correct?

Every interior space within your LEED Project Boundary must comply with the ventilation requirements. Regarding the TaB question, I am not pretty sure but I would test the existing equipment to guarantee the outdoor air required by the VRP is provided by your system.
