Building Simulation for LEED EQc2 Credit

This study is an example methodology providing energy cost of office buildings complying with the LEED credit, EQc2, Increased Ventilation, that prescribes outdoor airflow rates that exceed ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004 minimum rates by 30%. Office buildings in Portland, Ore., Chicago, Phoenix, and Atlanta, are modeled using eQUEST, a freeware building energy use analysis program designed to estimate energy consumption of proposed and existing buildings using an hour-by-hour simulation procedure.
