Hi, I'm new in energy modelling and I received a note from a energy model reviewer (LEED) regarding my Baseline energy model that is supposed to be in accordance with Section G3.1.3.12 ASHRAE 90.1/2010. The G3.1.3.12 says : Supply Air Temperature Reset (Systems 5 through 8). The air temperature for cooling shall be reset higher by 5°F under the minimum cooling load conditions. My baseline model is a system 7 and 8, and the building type is a full service restaurant. I had some doubts about the Section G3.1.3.12 interpretation, it's related to the setpoit manager? Can I use the setpoint manager warmest with the difference between minimum setpoint temperature and maximum setpoint temperature being 5°F?

Any help is appreciated

Thank you for your answer. What are the correct values that I have to set in minimum setpoint temperature and maximum setpoint temperature for the warmest setpoint manager?

The minimum is 20°F under your space cooling setpoint (17°F for labs), and the maximum is that temperature plus 5°F. An example, if your cooling setpoint is 75°F your minimum SAT would be 55°F and the maximum 60°F. Please mark the question as correct, if applicable.
