Inquiry
In EQc2 , the "Naturally Ventilated Spaces" option references the "Carbon Trust Good Practice Guide 237". This guide is now a dated publication and recently withdrawn by Carbon Trust, and therefore no longer a viable option for project teams outside the United Kingdom. What document(s) can be used in place of it?
Ruling
As of 10/16/2007, the USGBC allows project teams to use the CIBSE AM 10 (Chartered Instituition of Building Services Engineers, "Natural Ventilation in Non Domestic Buildings"), the CIBSE AM 13 ("Mixed Mode Ventilation") or natural ventilation & mixed mode ventilation related sections of the CIBSE Guide B2 ("Ventilation and Air Conditioning") in place of the GPG 237 as options to achieve the credit. Applicable Internationally.
