10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The CG plant has implications for both
LEED EAc1 and the renewables credits EAc2 and EAc6. For EAc1, you will need to determine
how much energy the CG plant will provide to the project. You will also need to
figure out the utility rate. Preferably, the owner/operator of the CG plant
will break up the billing into fuel and other costs. (Maintenance and capital
costs should not figure into the fuel cost for EAc1 calculation.) You will then
have three utility rates (and three eQUEST meters) – grid-provided
electricity, landfill gas, and backup heating fuel. Your baseline energy cost
will use the rates for grid electricity and backup heating fuel only.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I would try doing everything for the EAc1
calculation in eQUEST. Create an electric generator of type “engine
generator”, assign it to a new fuel meter, and assign it to the building
electric meter. Electric meters have a COGEN-TRACK-MODE that you use to set the
control mode for the CG plant. You can also assign a HW, WLHP or DHW loop to
recover exhaust heat. All of the electric end-use consumption provided by the
CG plant will show up as fuel consumption on your new fuel meter in the eQUEST
reports (such as BEPU).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

with Peter and think credit should be taken for EAc2 – On-Site Renewable
Energy, not EAc6. The energy is produced on site, and landfill gas is an
eligible renewable source. You just need to account for the cost of the fuel as
described above for EAc1. Note, however, that I have not yet tried claiming
this for a LEED submission.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

purchased from a third party is EA credit 6 Green Power and the third party
needs to be able to prove that they have REC’s (renewable energy
certificates) in order for it to count. Renewables go toward the project be it
building or whatever and have to be purchased by the building owner. What I was
told is that you are not allowed to profit off your renewable energy if you are
going to use it toward LEED for a project. In order for it to count as
renewable I think that the owner of the site would have to give it to the
building owner for free. Call USGBC and ask them to interpret it for you to
see. I usually call the USGBC if I have questions and I do not understand. I do
the same with building code because you never know how the official interprets
it versus one of us that is doing the project.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
