LEEDv4 Kitchens G3.1.1 Exception d

LEEDv4 90.1-2010. Have a large project, >1Mil SF. all electric; thus the Baseline Systems are System 8 + system 4 for systems meeting G3.1.1 Exception (b). There is a question regarding using gas heat in the Kitchen(s) MAU's in the Proposed model. These units would be providing make-up air for the hood exhaust. Under G3.1.1 Exception (d) should the Baseline units get to be gas as well? Or, does this some how oddly force the entire building into being gas-heating under some 'hybrid makes it gas' interpretation? Would be interested to hear from others who've experienced this with LEED.

I have reviewed LI-10285, but kitchens are not used as an example unfortunately.
