I have several questions relative to this credit. This project is new construction and we plan to employ option D for this credit by taking the computer simulation generated for EA Credit 1 and applying it to this credit by calibrating the simulation with monthly utility bills for the first 12 months of operation. I have three questions for this scenario: Can we achieve this credit by having the above plan documented at substantial completion? When this project is submitted for LEED certification, must we have someone under contract to do the simulation calibration and comparison to baseline after 12 months of operation? How do we handle the \'ten required monitoring categories\' listed on page 155 of the Reference Guide when none on the M & V Methods Tables in the 1997 IPMVP include provisions for Option D, calibrated simulation? Are these ten categories simply included in the whole building simulation?
