<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Using the newest version of eQuest (3.64) with the
"<FONT face=MyriadPro-Regular>LEED-NC 2.2 Submittal Template </FONT><FONT size=2
face=MyriadPro-Regular><FONT size=2 face=MyriadPro-Regular>EA Credit 1: Optimize
Energy Performance" </FONT></FONT>has raised a number of questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1) After inputting all the data for my proposed
building using the "Building Creation Wizard", when I "Perform Compliance
Analysis", is the LEED_Base_Bldg with the 4 orientations in the reports
generated following "Simulating Building Performance" the data to be added to
the Template as the Baseline Building.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2) If so, is there additional information (e.g.
Exterior Wall Construction) that needs to be enter via the Detail Data Edit
in order to meet the requirements of "<FONT face=MyriadPro-Regular>G2
Simulation General Requirements' in Appendix G of ASHRAE
90.1-2004"</FONT> .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This may sound like a very elementary question, but
with the different versions of eQuest, it has not been very clear just where we
are in this process in addition to the changes from USGBC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Appreciate any and all feedback.</FONT></DIV>
