with packaged VAVs on the perimeter zones. Does anyone have any
suggestions as to how I could best simulate passive ventilation? We have
a TAS model but I don’t believe TAS is on the list of qualified software
for LEED EAc1. My approach right now is to tweak the equest model until
it matches results from the TAS model.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
