<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I am new to
energy modeling and I am curious if there is a way to take credit for more
efficient transformers in an energy model. Some of our transformer reps have
said that there is not a LEED credit for more efficient transformers, but you
have to gain the credit through the energy model. Would it just be through more
heat in a space? I appreciate any information I can get in this matter. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
