[Equest-users] LEED Paperwork - Defaults Overridden

[Bishop, Bill]

Michael,
My suggestion - don't waste time on "defaults overridden". You can't
leave it blank - the online template won't let you. For my first
submission, I put "1776" and "2008" (years - I was feeling patriotic),
but the reviewer asked why I changed so many defaults. So I lowered it
closer to zero. Try putting numbers less than 20 and change them if your
reviewer asks about it.
Regards,
Bill

Good Morning All,
 
I know this has come up in the past and I have seen several responses
from going through and counting all of the schedules to just estimating.
Regardless of how you have determined this value has anyone then
included a description of how this was done in their narrative, or has
anyone ever gotten any questions from their reviewer about how the
number was tabulated?  Also has anyone ever left it blank as an
unquantifiable number?  I think I could spend days trying to count every
default of my model and still be off by hundreds.
 
Thanks for any feedback,
