[Equest-users] LEED and outdoor air rates

[Bishop, Bill]

Brad,

Does LEED Canada require ASHRAE 90.1, Appendix G for modeling? Appendix
G requires that, "Mininum outdoor air ventilation rates shall be the
same for the proposed and baseline building designs." I manually enter
the OA flow rates in all zones, keeping them identical between the
proposed and baseline cases, to meet this requirement.

Regards,

Bill

My proposed building is a long term care facility with a 100% OA unit
serving the patient rooms.  The generated baseline LEED model does not
reflect this above average OA requirement.  For the purposes of LEED
Canada, would the approach be to increase the OA flow rates for each
space equal to the proposed design?  It would seem to me both cases
should be modelled the same in this respect.  Thanks.

 

Brad Robinson.
