to ask when I first encountered it &#8211; kudos to you!&nbsp; I&#8217;ve
currently resolved to follow what others seemed to be doing within and outside
of my office:&nbsp; Sum up all unmet hours for cooling and heating between the
zones just as you describe.&nbsp; &nbsp;In your example, I&#8217;d agree that
the unmet hours of your 301 zone building total 301.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

intent of the standard, however between what is suggested within 90.1, the LEED
handbook, and the LEED credit templates &#8211; I honestly can&#8217;t see any
clear indication either way on which is the appropriate interpretation.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p>

systems should be something like: &#8220;hours of the modeled year in which at
least one zone has an unmet cooling/heating load,&#8221;&nbsp; but I think that
was avoided by all concerned parties because it&#8217;s too wordy!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

that all systems of your 301 zone example affecting the zones with unmet
cooling/heating hours should have their heating/cooling/overall sizing capacity
ratios increased incrementally until the design hours fall below 300 (and/or
within 50 of the sum from the other model, depending on your situation).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
