<div>Hi Otto - </div><div><br></div><div>I see from the bottom right of the page in your attachment that your credit form is not the latest version...you have version 0.2.3, and the latest version is v3.0 for LEED NC EAp2. There were lots of issues with the original versions of many of the LEED v3 forms, so I recommend that you update your credit form to avoid these problems...it will save you lots of headaches. I believe the unmet hour issue has been corrected in the newer form. To get the newest form, first make sure you save a copy of your current form so you don't lose any information you've already entered, and then click the "feedback" button in LEED online and request a form upgrade for EAp2 (and EAc1, while you're at it). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, be sure to use the provided excel spreadsheet to enter all your Baseline vs. Design case data rather than entering it in the form (EAp2 Section 1.4 tables.xls). This is found under the "Credit Resources" link on the EAp2 credit information page in your LEED online project. Since you have the old version of the form, it might not be clear that you are supposed to use the spreadsheet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Hope this helps, and good luck wading through the new version for the first time!</div><div><br></div><div>Rachel</div><div><br></div><br clear="all">Rachel N. Cook, PE<br>LEED AP BD+C, ASHRAE BEMP<br>

<div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple">
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on my first EA Prerequisite 2 and EA Credit 1
in Version 3. When filling in the unmet hours for the proposed (67) and the
baseline (194), Table 1 shows that it is not compliant. I am worried that if I
ignore this, the credit will not be marked as complying with Minimum Energy
Performance requirements at the bottom of the template.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone ran in to this problem and what did they do? Did
LEED over-rule ASHRAE 90.1 2007 and force the unmet hours to be within 50 of
each other even if the proposed is lower than the baseline?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am going to reduce the unmet hours in the baseline to
within 50 of the proposed to comply with the template but I believe this is the
wrong.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your input,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
