Hello, I think of LEED and ASHRAE comparisons in terms of proposed and baseline (regardless of the existing conditions). The baseline HVAC system is defined by ASHRAE table G3.1.1-3 and -4 and it will specify the HVAC system for each building based on activity type, # of floors, and area.
Now, I'm not familiar with "campus certification" but I would assume the district cooling and heating would not be included in the baseline, as the baseline HVAC system is defined by ASHRAE, which does not include a campus category.
It is my opinion that you should include the energy consumption of the heating and chiller plants for the proposed model.
