<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Bldg-Sim subscribers,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have modeled a 4 story building in Trace for a LEED project. Our process energy in total amounts to only 11% of the Proposed Energy Cost for the year. When entering this information at leedonline in Minimum Energy Performance compliance
form, the form says "NO" in the end that we have not complied with minimum energy performance pre-requisites which i think is because of the Process energy being less than 25%. The credit mentions that you could add a document why the process energy for any
given project is under 25%. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to ask you all if any of you have successfully entered that information and if yes, where? Also, does adding the document makes the compliance form say "YES" in the end?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br clear="all">
