[Equest-users] Modeling landfill gas as a fuel

[Peter Hillermann]

After posting my previous comment I realized we should probably keep LEED
questions to a minimum because this is an eQuest forum. If you have LEED
questions I would go to LEED user it is a great resource.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [Equest-users] Modeling landfill gas as a fuel

 

Hi All,

 

I am a little stuck on an approach and wanted to get some guidance from the
eQUEST greats. I have a project that is installing a cogeneration plant (CG)
that will use landfill gas from a nearby landfill.

 

The cogeneration plant is installed on site and all energy generated by the
plant is used on site. However, the operator / owner of the cogeneration
plant, a third party, sells the energy to the building owner.  

 

On the documentation side, would one use the exceptional calculation method
or the renewable energy section (LEED Online Template v2.2)? Usually, the
renewable energy does not have a "purchased" component as in a utility. 

 

How would one go about getting credit for the amount of energy used from
this landfill gas cogeneration plant when that energy is purchased?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards.
