For EQ 4.1(d), present calculations, test results, or equivalent that demonstrates that the proposed designs meet ASHRAE Standard 62.2.

"Systems using timers or controls to provide intermittent ventilation must compensate by installing fans..." change to "Projects using intermittent ventilation systems must compensate by installing fans..."

"In this case, some calculations must be provided to the Green Rater for visual inspection (not a thorough review). This may be applicable in climate zones with little or no heating or cooling loads.

In the fourth line of the term description, make the "E" of "Excluded" not bold

"Avoid oversized range fans, which can depressurize homes and cause back-drafting of combustion appliances. For most kitchen applications, a range hood fan with a capacity of ~200 CFM is more than adequate." change to "Avoid oversized range fans, which can depressurize homes, cause back-drafting of combustion appliances and fireplaces, and lead to higher energy bills. For most kitchen applications, a range hood fan that is sized to meet the requirements in ASHRAE Std. 62.2 will suffice."

"Duct exhaust fans directly outside through a dedicated exhaust vent, not into soffit or roof vents in an attic." change to "Duct exhaust fans directly outside through a dedicated exhaust vent, not into soffit or roof vents in the attic. Recirculating kitchen range hoods do not remove moisture and pollutants, and do not satisfy the prerequisite in EQ 5.1."

"Projects located in mild climates (fewer than 4,500 infiltration degree-days) can earn this point by simply putting in a ventilation system." change to "Projects located in mild climates (fewer than 4,500 infiltration degree-days) can earn this point by simply putting in a ventilation system. These exemptions are based on ASHRAE Std. 62.2-2004, which references ASHRAE Std. 119-1988 (RA 2004). Following this standard, LEED for Homes uses a base of 65

"For EQ 4.1(b) and (c), visually verify that all calculations related to outdoor air ventilation are completed." Change to "For EQ 4.1(b), (c), and (d) visually verify that all calculations related to outdoor air ventilation are completed."

[Add new paragraphs before Calculations section]"Performance testing is important for identifying any equipment failures or installation problems. HVAC contractors should conduct their own performance testing, but this does not qualify as third-party testing for the purposes of EQ 4.3.Third-party testing must be performed by a qualified energy rater, Green Rater, or a third-party testing and balancing company. If testing indicates insufficient air flow rates, the HVAC contractor should investigate and fix the problem.

change "Otherwise, refer to Table 8 for sample values." to "Otherwise, refer to Table 9 for sample values."
