[Bldg-sim] Cogeneration and energy cost comparison for LEED

[Ramana Koti]

Dear all,

Has anyone had experience with factoring cogeneration into energy cost of
proposed design for LEED Energy & Atmosphere credits?

For example, generally, how does cost of energy generated using a natural
gas turbine (cogeneration) compare with grid supplied electricity cost? I
understand it's more efficient than grid supplied electricity but is there
cost savings associated with cogen that help with LEED credits?

Thanks in advance,
