[Equest-users] Interpretation of Appendix G3.1.2.2 for unmet hours

[Patrick J. O'Leary, Jr.]

i've wondered that before.  i had a review comment several years ago on 
a leed 2.1 project where the reviewer disagreed with the concept that 
the overall unmet load hours were fine as i had a spread similar to 
yours in the heating or cooling unmet hours.  i ended up increasing cmf 
and/or capacity until they were more in line with each other.

i never did receive a better clarification though, and the 90.1 user 
manuals only show an example with 0 unmet hours so it is pretty useless 
in that regard.
