Could you use the reviewer's logic as a response? Ask them to support their comment with a reference. Since 90.1 doesn't explicitly state that the baseline should match the proposed their position is just as credible as yours.

Prior to OpenStudio Standards, I set the baseline VAV terminal control to single max/min. However, now I use OS Standards, which sets the VAV dampers to Reverse acting (dual maximum) although the reason is not well documented in the OS Standards code. Perhaps @aspark2 can elaborate.

Prior to OpenStudio Standards, I set the baseline VAV terminal control to single max/min. However, now I use OS Standards, max/min prior to the availability of OpenStudio Standards' baseline automation, which sets the VAV dampers to Reverse acting (dual maximum) although the maximum). The reason is not well documented in the OS Standards code. Perhaps code, but perhaps @aparker can elaborate.
