[Equest-users] Multi-Family Corridor Baseline

[Elizabeth Gillmor via Equest-users]

In my experience LEED will accept a second baseline system type for the
corridors, but then following appendix G, you would use a System type 7.  I
would take the same interpretation for MFHR.

You could probably make a case to do all residential systems, but with gas
heating in the corridor, that would put you in a System Type 1 throughout,
which would unnecessarily punish your dwelling units.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
