First peruse the published guidance for LEED district energy systems “Treatment of District or Campus Thermal Energy in LEED.” I and others have referenced this as the “DES guidance” as well (may be helpful as a search term). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>You’ll want to review the whole thing, but there’s an appendix towards the back specifically addressing EAp2/EAc1 credits post-processing for district/campus systems including cogeneration/CHP equipment. I’ve done this a few times over now (for projects on a district heating/power-generation loop). Sadly I’ve yet to encounter a project that “cleanly” fits this guidance to a tee (just my luck probably…), but if you take some time to digest what’s there you might be able to ask more direct and productive questions for clarification specific to your project, if needed. If this equipment is not on a district/campus loop, you may be able to isolate/extract some simpler direction using this as a framework. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>It *might* be as simple as doing nothing special for the baseline and just lopping off an electricity credit at the end for your proposed case based upon simulated output (if you are modeling the equipment explicitly within the simulation). Hopefully that’s the case and someone else can confirm ;). Even in that simplest case you should probably plan on developing a write-up for supplemental documentation to summarize the pertinent equipment documentation & simulation inputs + outputs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>~Nick<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span
