would<SPAN class=156185516-31102005> suggest </SPAN>two approaches
recognizing the following - not all "energy efficiency analysts" are good
modelers (and some modelers are better efficiency experts than the "<SPAN

that if the analysis is done under the supervision/sign-off of a certified
individual ("PE, AIA") that this does not exclude non-certified modelers from
doing the work<SPAN class=156185516-31102005> as is the case with other aspects
of the design process</SPAN>. An alternative is to have a qualified team
review and sign-off as is done with LEED<SPAN class=156185516-31102005>
