<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve asked this question before, but never really got a good
answer, so I’m trying again in case anyone has new info.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone successfully submitted a LEED v3 Core and Shell
Energy Model?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Under v2.0, there was a LEED-CS EAc1 calculator explained
here:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It was a great way to subtract out energy loads that the
Owner/Developer did not have control over.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, under the new v3 Green Building Reference guide
(includes NC, CS, etc), they appear to have gotten rid of the sliding
Developer/Tenant scale, and now award just a different quantity of points for
CS vs NC. It certainly looks that way, and the v3 online template
couldn’t possibly be more confusing to me, so I can’t really tell by looking at
that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is this true? If so, it’s a shame, because if you have
a Core and Shell project where there is an Owner requirement to provide a
mechanical system capable of supporting 5 Watts / sq ft tenant plug loads, you
can no longer back out the plug loads as an energy consumer “not controlled by
the Owner/Developer”. I could reduce the plug load density to help shrink
the numerator/denominator, but that’s not really an accurate thing to do in a
C&S project, since the Developer HAS to provide cooling for 5 W / sq ft
because of things like SFOs, specific tenant requirements, etc. C&S
projects are a completely different animal than an NC project where you already
know and can guarantee tenant loads.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>That sucks. Can anyone confirm?<o:p></o:p></p>
