calculate cooling load and design air flow using eQuest software then apply the
same design using HAP 4.3, the cooling load for the two designs in tonnage
were the same, while the design air flow in CFM was in eQuest <b><i><u><span

the design air flow in HAP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Eurostile","sans-serif"'>For
LEED projects, the proposed design should be model as the design documents, and
many designers use HAP or other design software which is different than eQuest.
and for LEED simulation we use eQuest , in this case the CFM/ton in the
baseline design is less than the CFM/ton in the proposed design. The problem
here that this case will reduce the energy savings in fans for the proposed design.

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Eurostile","sans-serif"'>My
question is: is it ok to make the CFM/ton for the baseline design as in the
proposed design? If NO, is there a solution to increase the design airflow for
the baseline?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
