[Bldg-sim] Baseline Modeling for LEED

In  my experience you do not increase the baseline energy model as you
are being awarded (gaining that point) when you achieve the ventilation
credit. There are a few similar situations in LEED where by achieving
one credit will prevent you from achieving another but this happens to
everyone so it works out to be somewhat fair.

All,

There is a credit in LEED (EQc2.0) that involves increasing the required
ventilation rate by 30%.  In trying to achieve this credit, the amount
of energy would have to increase to condition that additional 30% OSA.
Does anyone know if you are supposed to increase the baseline energy
model's ventilation rate so it has the same ventilation rate as the
proposed building?  Thank you in advance for your help.
