[Equest-users] eQuest - Campus Steam

[Daniel Knapp]

Hi Jim,

Just FYI if this is a LEED model you should check out the District Energy Modelling Requirements from the USGBC (http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=7671).  By modelling as purchased steam you are limiting the number of EAc1 points available.  

Cheers,
Dan
