[Marcus Sheffer]

An updated version of the district energy guidelines will soon be approved
by the EA TAG and should be posted at some point in the relatively near
future.

As far as I know “District Thermal Energy” is to be treated the same in NC
3.0. I have had limited contact with the few NC 3.0 projects in the works
that are pursuing this path, and they haven’t had any guidance to do
anything different. 

 

Gotta love the new secret LEED CIR process that doesn’t let you know what’s
right or wrong so we can spend lots of our clients money pursuing  paths
that may not pay off.

Hi All

 

I am working on an upgrade to a building that uses district energy and is
pursuing certification under LEED NC 3.0.  

 

I am aware of the document “Required Treatment of District Thermal Energy in
LEED-NC version 2.2 and LEED for Schools” from May ’08 (
<http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=4176>
http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=4176)

 

Does anyone know if this document is applicable for projects registered in
LEED NC 3.0, or if there have been any updates/changes to it?

 

Thank you all
