interest… but it occurred to me today – perhaps trying to frame this as a “heating
fuel source” within EA1 is a backwards perspective for a LEED project.&nbsp; If
the bamboo is a renewable thermal heating source, doesn’t it kinda sound a lot
more like “on-site renewable energy sources” EA Credit 2?&nbsp; If you seek and
achieve credits in that manner, you get to lop such calculated energy off of
your final proposed cost results under EA1 afterwards, as though the energy
were free.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

“renewable-energy.”&nbsp; It’s not clear based on the discussion so far where
your bamboo pellets really fit in the excluded/included renewable biomass
materials listings.&nbsp; EA Credit 2 is definitely structured (again in v2.2)
to accommodate biomass fuels for the use of space heating, water heating, or

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Yes,
this is a special case,&nbsp;a group of small houses in a resort to&nbsp;be
LEED certified. The&nbsp;owner wants to make the&nbsp;project the most
green&nbsp;resort in the world...so fossil fuel is in general avoided. I agree
that wood pellet&nbsp;appears to be&nbsp;similar&nbsp;with fossil fuel, like
coal, although it is not fossil and can be renewed within less than 10 years. I
am still expecting an answer&nbsp;about baseline fuel vs. proposed fuel, shall
this be:<br>
&nbsp;<br>
1. wood pellet vs. wood pellet<br>
2. electricity vs. wood pellet<br>
3. natural gas vs. wood pellet<br>
4. other possibilities?<br>
&nbsp;<br>
It seems to me that 1 or 3 shall be more convenient to use than 2, which is, as
Paul said, &quot;risky&quot;. But if 3 is used, why natural gas, not coal or
oil? &nbsp;<br>
