[Equest-users] How to Claim Credits for Natural Ventilation in Multifamily High Rise Residential?

[Ömer Moltay]

Dear All,

What is the methodology for LEED projects to claim credits (if 
possible?) for natural ventilation in dwelling units? In the building I 
am working on, only openable windows are used for natural ventilation, 
there is no engineered system. Cooling / heating will be provided by VRF 
units. Can one make an assumption that occupied spaces will be 
ventilated by natural means during the times they are occupied in the 
proposed case, while for the baseline case mechanical ventilation will 
apply?

Thank you,

Omer Moltay
