<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=948104414-24072009> I
am modeling an office building with a few HVAC zones, each of which is supplied
through a VTU. Within each zone are many walls which, collectively, could
require the rest of my life to model. To model these walls seems a bit
more detail than physics justifies, since they generally separate rooms within
zones rather than the zones, themselves, and because all of the building is
intended to maintain the typical 75 degrees F temperature and the air will, of
course, circulate among nearby rooms.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=948104414-24072009>
Can anyone tell me whether choosing to model only those walls that are at the
borders of HVAC zones will cause an objection by the LEED/USGBC people who will
be reviewing the building (and my model) for LEED
certification?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Thanks.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
