We are heating and cooling about 50% of the building via natural ventilation 100% of the time - the other half of the building is 100% HVAC. This won\'t equal 100% of the building for 67% time - but in future might there be a way to balance this out?
The intent of this credit is to reward and recognize passive comfort control design. In other words, provide comfort through site and building design, not mechanical/electrical systems. Your calculation does not equate to the desired passive conditioning for two thirds of the year, so the project does not earn the credit. As written this is a difficult criterion to capture and the Committee will be reviewing it closely during the Pilot Program. Applicable internationally.
