<p class=MsoNormal><b>Greetings,<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am working on my first LEED project using eQuest and have
received multiple comments on my submittal for EAp2: Minimum Energy
Performance. Attached are the 11 review comments. I have many
questions and will try to explain my level of eQuest knowledge below so you can
get a sense of where I am at.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>--Here is my understanding of eQuest:<o:p></o:p></p>

export file LEED results which gives me the excel spreadsheet of data that compares
the Proposed model to the Baseline model that was just created. I used
this info to fill out the EA forms online.<o:p></o:p></p>

regenerate another new Baseline? <o:p></o:p></p>
