<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Sefaira could be used for the Integrative Process credit to evaluate load reductions before Schematic Design, but not for documenting savings for the Energy Performance prerequisite
and credit using the 100% Construction Documents. The main issue is that Sefaira does not allow users to hard-size the mechanical systems (as far as I know), which is a requirement for the LEED Energy Performance prerequisiste/credit. Users could presumably
export the Sefaira IDF to EnergyPlus/OpenStudio/DesignBuilder to use it as a starting point for a full LEED model.
