<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Under my tutelage, I would
advise those first getting started to simply ignore the compliance analysis
tool for their first LEED models. It is put simply a work in progress and in
its current state is not always time-efficient. Better to first understand how
to build a baseline by modifying your proposed model, so that you can
understand better exactly what the compliance tool is doing and not doing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>That said, you’re already
well down the path and I won’t tell you to re-do major amounts of work.
I’ve added some quick responses below with the above in mind. Also, it’s
clear you have fallen into the deep end of the pool! My responses are
deliberately simplified in some cases because you need to do some legwork to
catch up on some issues. Use the archives, read the help files (right-click
any field), and direct specific questions (with full descriptions and what you
know and what you know you don’t know) to the mailing list as they come
up!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>I
make my Proposed design model in eQuest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>I
perform the simulation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>I
perform the compliance analysis and it makes a Baseline model.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>4.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>I
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>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:40.5pt'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>--My questions regarding changes in eQuest that are related
to modifying the Baseline after you have run your Proposed design:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l2 level1 lfo4'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>How
do you make the changes in the Baseline model? <span style='color:red'>Open
the baseline model and modify it as you would the proposed model. Should have
been created in the same directory when you did the compliance analysis.
Suggest keeping backups before modifications so that you have a good reference
of where you came from.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l2 level1 lfo4'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>And
then how do I compare this modified baseline against the Proposed design model,
like using the compliance analysis button? Won’t this just
regenerate another new Baseline? <span style='color:red'>After
modifications, run a fresh set of simulations for the proposed and baseline
models, then go to File </span><span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:red'>à</span><span
style='color:red'> Export </span><span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:red'>à</span><span
style='color:red'> LEED results. This will generate a new spreadsheet
referencing the current simulation results for each model, without creating a
new model. Note that everything compiled in that spreadsheet can also be
referenced and reviewed between the detailed and graphical simulation reports
for each model.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

mso-list:l2 level1 lfo4'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span

do I then export the LEED excel file?<span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:red'>See answer to #2.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

comments are as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
