<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Calibri'>I just got LEED review comments for my project. Our
proposed design is VRF system with roof top unit providing ventilation air.
Roof top unit is using gas as heating source. There are misc. elec. heaters in
the building for places like entries. I interpreted my building heating source
as “electric hybrid” and used hot water fossil fuel boiler as my
base design. The comments I got read as the follows:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><i><font size=2 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:blue;font-style:italic'>Section 1.1.A of the form indicates that
the primary heating source is fossil fuel. However, the electric heating energy
use reported in Table EAp2-5 for the Proposed Case exceeds the fossil fuel
heating energy use. Please verify that the correct heating source has been
selected. If electric heating is the primary heating source, please change the
Baseline system type accordingly. Provide updated simulation results and a
revised Prerequisite Form as necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I
couldn’t find an official definition either on LEED reference book or
90.1. What is your take on this?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
