Can you take credit for occupancy sensors that control HVAC systems? I am thinking probably not for system operation E.g setbacks, agree? But I am unsure for the ventilation. It seems a bit waffly trying to determine when the spaces are "occupied" as technically they are 24/7 but occupant will come and go during that time. Should the baseline be 24/7 for ventilation and the proposed as per expected design for ventilation taking account occupancy sensors...? Thanks

You can do so as an exceptional calculation. See the Appendicies of the Advanced Energy Modeling Guide for LEED for an example. Make sure you can defend the schedule adjustment associated with the occupancy patterns..
