[Equest-users] GBCI Review of VRV Heat Recovery in eQuest

Ladies & Gentlemen:

There has been some discussion on this forum about modeling VRV Heat Recovery 
using the exceptional calculation method described in the Energy Trust of Oregon 
BSUG presentation of April 15, 2009.

Has anyone actually had this methodology accepted on a LEED project using custom 
curves built from the manufacturers' performance tables?

If so, could you provide the name of the project?

The utility companies in CT are offering a modeling incentive ($6,000), a dollar 
per Ft2 improvement over 90.1 (Up to $2.00 Ft2) and a LEED incentive ($5,000 
Silver, $10,000 Gold, $15,000 Platinum).  They are hesitant to accept the above 
calculation method and are leaning toward requiring Energy Pro or Trace models.

I would like to verify that the GBCI will accept this procedure rather than 
purchase and learn new software.

Thank you for your help,

Paul Diglio
