<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Appendix G
states that the unmet load hours of for the proposed design or the baseline
design shall not exceed 300 (of the 8760 hours simulated) and unmet load hours
for the proposed design shall not exceed the unmet load hours for the baseline
building design by more than 50. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Suppose I have
the following unmet load hours’ results: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>(Base Heating =
21 ; Base Cooling = 196) Total Base = 217 Hrs < 300 Hrs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>(Design Heating
= 96 ; Design Cooling = 96) Total Design = 192 Hrs < 300 Hrs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>And Total Base
– Total Design = 217 – 192 = 25 < 50 Hrs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>I believe that
my results fulfill Appendix G requirements but I just got a little confused
because the LEED template is not calculating the total unmet load hours but
instead the difference between base/design cooling and base/design heating. I
would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
