For mechanically ventilated spaces, run final ventilation calculations to verify that the design exceeds ASHRAE 62.1-2004 by 30%.
Natural Ventilation
The mechanical engineer continues running ventilation rate calculations during the mechanical design process to confirm compliance with this credit and to inform the design. The ventilation rate procedure is explained in section 6 of ASHRAE 62.1-2004.

Mechanical Ventilation
Determine the required ventilation rates for indoor spaces based on occupancy and space types. ASHRAE 62.1-2004 tables 6-1 and 6-4 list minimum ventilation rates for particular spaces.
Review the air-flow modeling methodology and requirements in Volume A of the CIBSE Guide and ASHRAE 62.1-2004, Section 6.2. This section of ASHRAE 62.1 offers the modeling protocol for simulating air movement within the building. It is not difficult to follow and may be familiar to modeling consultant.
