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

[Matt Hein]

I can echo Javed's response. I believe a great number of eQuest modelers
create separate models for the baseline and proposed buildings and then
compare. As Javed said, create one version and then save-as and make
alterations.

I believe the eQuest document that discusses generating LEED baseline
buildings points out that it can only make the easy adjustments like LPD.
