CANQUEST automatically generated reference building?

I just have a basic question about the automatically generated reference building in CANQUEST. From what I gather, in eQuest it's good practice to model the baseline building to ASHRAE 90.1 without the use of the automatically generated baseline tool. This ensures that the baseline building is modeled accurately and correctly. However, I was wondering if it's acceptable to use the automatically generated baseline building in CANQUEST when modeling to NECB 2011? Any fellow Canadian users have experience with the automatically generated reference building and can comment on its capabilities/accuracy? Thanks for your help!
