I've modeled my baseline with the appropriate oversizing ratios for heating and cooling (1.25 and 1.15, respectively). Do I keep this oversizing in my proposed model?

I am using eQUEST. The model is for office spaces that have yet to find tenants. The proposed model is based on the minimum requirements of the lease for tenant fit-outs. In this case, tenants are required to have equipment with a minimum SEER value of 15. I can model this just fine, but do I need to keep the oversizing that I had in the baseline (since there is no specified equipment and therefore no specified capacities)?

Thanks,
