[Equest-users] Modelling for Core and Shell Office Building

[Ömer Moltay]

Dear All,

I have a question regarding modelling HVAC systems for LEED CS. I have 
not found sufficient information on this on the LEED Reference Guide.

The building we are modelling has office floors to be leased to tenants 
without any furbishment. As such, mechanical installation within the 
office floor will be carried out by the tenant. However, the landlord is 
completing the building with VRF outdoor units as well as heat recovery 
ventilators on each floor. VRF piping and ventilation ducts will be 
installed up to the tenant areas. Therefore, the tenants have no other 
choice than to use these systems in their furbishment.

How should the proposed model be designed regarding the tenant areas? 
Also, should separate HVAC submeters be modelled for each tenant area in 
the proposed model?

How should the baseline model be designed? According to G3.1.1.A, our 
baseline system is System #8. Is there any difference in modelling 
tenant areas or is modelling the baseline case done in the same way it 
would have been for a LEED-NC building?

Thank you,

Ömer Moltay, LEED AP BD+C, BREEAM Assessor
