<p class=MsoNormal>Forgive the long email but I am new to eQuest wanted to be thorough
in my question. <o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>I have a project that is utilizing a chilled water and
heating hot water from another location on site. We are applying for
three LEED points under EAc1 (LEED 2.2) and I am trying to utilize the USGBC
published “Treatment of District or Campus Thermal Energy in LEED”
(August 13, 2010 version). Based on the requirements of the document I
believe I only have to use Option 1, and the first problem I am having is
determining the Energy Rates. Since it is a campus situation the project
building does not buy the chilled water or heating hot water it is simply delivered.
Does anyone have an idea about determining the cost for each?<o:p></o:p></p>

system. I believe the requirements of the USGBC documents require that
the Secondary and Tertiary pumps be modeled for Option 1. There is one
Secondary and two Tertiary pumps, but so far I have only been able to add one
type of pump (the Secondary pump and Tertiary Pumps have different characteristics)
to the Hot Water Loop. Any suggestion on how to add more?<o:p></o:p></p>
