<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would recommend not using any code analysis drop down. As I think the YouTube video alluded to, it just adds a bunch of inputs that are of no real benefit. You will still need to manually model your baseline,
and you will still need to ensure everything between your proposed and baseline models are in compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G. You can see below the settings<i>
</i>I would recommend to get your project started.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In one of the eQuest tutorial videos on youtube it mentions NOT to use “LEED-NC (Appendix G) from the dropdown menu for “Code Analysis”. It is mentioned that “it doesn’t do what you think it does”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m assuming NC means new construction. The current project I’m working on is a renovation project here in Alaska though that we are working on LEED approval for – which requires the energy modeling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What would be the most ideal “Code Analysis” option for this application?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The tutorial sais that if you use “LEED-NC (Appendix G)” it adds a lot of unnecessary work to the energy modeling process. Is this true?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance!!<o:p></o:p></p>
