<p class=MsoNormal>A question regarding energy modeling with respect to ASHRAE
compliance and LEED's Optimized Energy Performance Credit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am in the process of creating an energy model using eQUEST
for a new building on a campus. The building will utilize the campus'
central plant for steam and chilled water distribution piping.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Question: When creating the energy model, I assume the
energy costs, as required for LEED, would be calculated for all local
(building, not central plant) building systems and would not include
energy/cost data from the campus' central plant. In eQUEST, how does one
separate energy consumption data of the building from the central plant?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks -<o:p></o:p></p>
