[Equest-users] District Thermal Energy Savings

[Arpan Bakshi]

Matthew, depending on the size of your building, your baseline may not have
a CW loop, in which case the intent of being cost-neutral towards thermal
energy not generated inside the LEED boundary is satisfied. Agree on the
suggested CIR, however.
