submitted yet so I am not certain how USGBC would rule. Similarly I used
the maximum U and SC values from 90.1 for the windows and ignored the higher
allowable values of the North windows to make my building easier to model...
realizing with this approach my proposed energy savings will decrease slightly.
I’d be curious to know if others have done the same with a successful
submittal through the LEED process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
When creating an Appendix G baseline model in eQUEST for LEED, can you simply
adjust the overall U-value of the exterior wall in the DD mode to match the
assembly maximum U-value from ASHRAE 90.1 Tables 5.5?<br>
<br>
Thank You,<br>
Niko<br clear=all>
