[Bldg-sim] COMcheck & bldg sim programs

[Nick Caton]

Absolutely!  I regularly use COMcheck to document my proposed LPD tallies and the corresponding baseline LPD inputs.

The only caveat to be aware of is that COMcheck presently cannot document 90.1-2007 inclusive of addendum i, which is of concern if you specifically are determining/documenting exterior lighting wattages for SSc8 for LEED 2009 projects registered after November 2011.  I've contacted the developers, and from the response I understand they do not intend to address this issue.

Further reading/information in the attached discussion.

Can anyone tell me if the LPD as reported by COMcheck is a sound input for whole building energy performance simulation programs? If not, why not?

Thank you in advance!
