Another credit IEQ 7.1 states that the building needs to abide by ASHRAE 55 which requires a 1 degree driftpoint. I modeled the building having a 2 degree driftpoint in equest, and I think I will not meet the unmet hours requirement if I switch it to 1 degree.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is this even necessary? IEQ 7.1 does not state that I need an energy model, and EA prereq 2 does not state that I have to meet ASHRAE 55. If I put a 1 degree driftpoint into equest it’s going to go crazy.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black","sans-serif"'>Amanda E.
