Jessi,<br>I got a LEED submittal review last month that didn't allow modeling DCV in eQuest without using the 'exceptional calculation method'. You can model DCV with the keyword in eQuest, but (some) LEED reviewers want to see savings isolated from the measure. It just ends up being a bit more modeling/ reporting time on our end. <br>

Hi folks,<br> <br>I am simulating a 24-floor building to be LEED certified. The software is Equest. In order to achieve as many points as possible in EA CR1, demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) has been modeled in the proposed design. But we are not sure if this stragety needs Exception Calculation Method requested by USGBC. In one of CIR historical archive of LEED online, USGBC requested exceptional calculation method for schedule-based DCV models. I have no idea if USGBC would treat DCV models in Equest as those of schedule-based.<br>
<br>The use or removal of DCV will decisively impact the achieveable points of EA CR1. I am wondering if anyone in this community has clear picture on this issue.<br> <br>Thanks in advance.<br> <br>Jessi
