[Equest-users] Question regarding Code analysis : LEED-NC (Appendix G)

[Javed Iqbal]

I'm sure automated baseline creation will not address all the addenda,
exceptions of ASHRAE if applicable on your project. So individual
intervention to do quality check is very essential for optimum and accurate
results.

The best way to do compliance modeling is to "save as" proposed building
and make necessary changes as per ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G. This will give
you better control over your model and also make sure the quality check for
what you trying to accomplish.

I hope other eQuest experts can share their view on this.

Hope this helps.
