<div><font color="#336666"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I was encouraging the idea that the AEDG could be helpful in understanding the strategies involved with such energy savings. Also I agree with you about the learning curve. If it where to be done somewhat prescriptively then possibly ASHRAE 189.1 and a design guide, with some instruction and a few months and I think it could be done..</font></font></div>

If you are going for LEED Gold Certification, then you probably need a fair amount of energy credits. You are probably looking at getting more than just the 1 point you get from using the AEDG or the 3 points you get from the Advanced Buildings Benchmark.
