Thanks Drury - that was just what I was looking for.<br>
In particular I am interested in opinions on the following section from
Appendix 1:<br>
Design Assumptions & Procedures for Modeling for the GGHC Energy
Credits
<dl>
<dd>Ventilation, air changes and air pressure relationships: Use specific
ventilation rates, air changes, and
<dd>pressure relationships, as required by <b><i>authorities having
jurisdiction</i></b>. If the authorities having
<dd>jurisdiction have no specific requirements, use the requirements from
2006 AIA Guidelines for Design
<dd>and Construction of Hospital and Health Care Facilities, or most
recent version.
</dl>In particular, considering LEED EAp2/EAc1 and the modelling of the
outdoor air flow for the Budget case, what is generally accepted as
"the authority having jurisdiction"? Hypothetically,
could the hospital administrator be considered the authority having
jurisdiction?<br><br>
This is how the GGHC views the issued:
<dl>
<dd>Process Ventilation loads: Special ventilation requirements in a
health care facility are not unusual.
<dd>While Table OCC-1 quantifies the typical ventilation in a health care
facility, some spaces may require
<dd>higher ventilation rates. The higher ventilation rates shall be
simulated in both the Baseline and
<dd>Proposed building simulation runs, making this an energy neutral
feature.
</dl>It would appear to me that for health care facilities, the design
team is not constrained by the outdoor air amounts quoted in various
standards.<br><br>

<dd>There seem to be long and short versions on the GGHC web site.
I'll let you know if I have success. I vaguely remember this
Appendix... may even have a copy on a backup drive somewhere.<br><br>

<dd>The Green Guide for Health Care requires modelling as noted:
<dd>"Model anticipated building energy performance in accordance
with ASHRAE 90.1-2004 Appendix G as modified by the Design Assumptions in
GGHC Appendix 1, using DOE2.1E or Energy Plus."<br>
<dd>So far I have not been able to locate the GGHC Appendix 1
document.<br>
