Inquiry
We are looking into the possibility of using total natural ventilation and cooling on our project for 12 months of the year. There appears to be no available additional points if we were to achieve this goal, could we get a bonus point? Also, if we needed to use a PV powered ventilation fan, would we still qualify as naturally ventillated?
Ruling
The intent of this credit is to reward and recognize passive comfort control design. As several other credits have additional points for exemplery performance, the committee would recognize a demonstrated level of 12 months natural HVAC with an innovation credit. Applicable internationally.
