<p class=MsoNormal>I can confirm this as well (that you should just ballpark
the number). Try to consider this from a LEED reviewer's point of view tho;
they are really looking to see if you changed any value abnormally. I think the
original intent was "Major defaults overridden". So, for instance, if
you changed default load methodologies, or something that most users do not
change, that is what they want to know about. However, if many people are
putting hundreds of defaults overridden, this may become what the LEED reviewer
expects to see anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I have to say the reviewers
have gotten pretty savvy over the last few years and most of them probably see
that you are using eQUEST, and then they understand (because eQUEST has so many
defaults, by it's nature of being a fast simulation tool). Remember that some
reviewers are more familiar with certain software, so if they ask, it's likely
that they aren't too familiar with eQUEST, and you need to explain that eQUEST
has defaults for nearly every value (though in my experience, eQUEST is the
most well-known by LEED reviewers).<o:p></o:p></p>

style='color:#1F497D'>Yes, I’d echo Bill’s advice here. Estimate a
reasonable number and run with it – like the Target Finder score, this
information is used as a soft check for the model’s
“reasonableness”, but it also depends on the modeling software.
I’ve had one question before about why so many defaults were overridden,
and my response was basically “you can’t incorporate Appx G or the
proposed design in eQUEST without overriding many, many defaults” (the
project was accepted).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I
know this has come up in the past and I have seen several responses from going
through and counting all of the schedules to just estimating. Regardless
of how you have determined this value has anyone then included a description of
how this was done in their narrative, or has anyone ever gotten any questions
from their reviewer about how the number was tabulated? Also has anyone
ever left it blank as an unquantifiable number? I think I could spend
days trying to count every default of my model and still be off by hundreds.<o:p></o:p></p>
