Revision history [back]

Hey everyone,

I've submitted several campus models in the past, but this one has me questioning myself. For past projects I have referenced the "Treatment of District or Campus Thermal Energy in LEED" guide to model campus chilled water and steam systems.

This project is a little different. This time we are not pulling CHW and steam from a central plant owned by the building owner. Our client will be literally buying chilled water and steam (metered) from a utility. The utility has rate structures for CHW/steam just like you would for natural gas or electricity. The above guide doesn't seem to reference this type of situation.

• Is the guide still applicable to this situation?
• Have any of you ran into this situation in the past, how did you handle it? What comments did LEED review have for you?

Thanks for your help!
