<P class=ecxMsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> I am actually revising the model after it was reviewed by GBCI. </FONT></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The model that was submitted had these spaces attached to PTAC systems (chilled water and hot water coils). My first thought was just to change a hot water coil to heat resistance in proposed. However, one of the reviewers comments was that all non-residential spaces should be modeled as system type #5 ( if the total conditioned building area is less than 150,000sf) <SPAN> </SPAN>or system type #7 (exceeds 150,000 sf).<SPAN> </SPAN>They also gave me an option of using system type #3 ( PSZ) for spaces where load varies substantially from other non-residential units. The model was done by someone else, but even if I had built this model I would not use VAV systems. I would probably go with PTAC for stairs and PSZ for mechanical rooms. Now, I am completely confused. </FONT></P>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Besides, when I model for LEED, I usually make my HVAC systems so that they serve identical areas in baseline and proposed design. Is this good understanding of Appendix G?</FONT></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.</FONT></P>
