<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I gave a presentation on this subject
in November and the v3 equivalent document was “coming any day now”
back then – I haven’t seen it yet, although I’m pretty sure
someone is working very hard on generating one. I haven’t looked
for it since then either. If not, you can probably use the current
Reference Guide along with the 2.2 DES document.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>…suggesting you make adjustments
for EAP2, etc. I would assume this includes substitution of the current
energy codes for the prior ones when referring to your registered project.
I’m not sure if there will be other major changes to how the comparisons
are structured, or changes in the default DES efficiencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>I am trying to do energy model for
3 buildings in a campus. Each building is seeking separate LEED certification.
We have a new central plant with Ice storage which will serve all three
buildings. I have a USGBC guideline “Required Treatment of District
Thermal Energy<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>in LEED-NC version 2.2 and LEED
for Schools” dated May 28, 2008, which discusses about how to carry out
the energy modeling. I am wondering is there a similar document for LEED
version 3. If there is no such document released by USGBC for version 3, then
if I follow the aforementioned document, the problem I have is, it reference
everything back to ASHRAE 90.1-2004 but LEED V3 follows 90.1-2007. Can anyone
guide me how to approach this situation?<o:p></o:p></p>
