To limit the probability that the trade-off path will be used for buildings where there is insufficient information to accurately assess the building using the trade-off option, which could lead to overestimation of the efficiency of the HVAC system, which could lead to unnecessary consumption of energy for heating and cooling, which could lead to excessive use of energy, which could lead to an unacceptable effect on the environment.
