<div dir="ltr"><div> </div><div>The USGBC always look for a proof and it won't be as complicated as some may think, the options you proposed folk will be okay. Incidentally, for the proposed model do you also use a 1.15 and 1.25 to oversize the cooling and heating equipments, I saw differernt designers do it differernt way, and both views were approved by the USGBC at some instances, do you folks apply the same ratios for the proposed building? thanks in advance</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To size the equipment in baseline, I let the program to size
and 25% heating oversized and 15% cooling oversized by entering the cool sizing
ratio 1.15 and heat sizing ratio 1.25.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But I have got the following comment:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(0,112,192);font-size:14pt">It is unclear
whether the Baseline equipment capacities were based on sizing runs, and
oversized by 25% for heating, and 15% for cooling in accordance with Section
G3.1.2.2<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(0,112,192);font-size:14pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
