Has anyone used this yet?  I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on
whether it is useful and/or worth the $100.

USGBC launches ADVANCED ENERGY MODELING FOR LEED, 

 

Technical Manual.

 

USGBC has developed the Advanced Energy Modeling for LEED, Technical
Manual to guide the project teams and LEED reviewers on requirements and
documentation for Whole Building Energy Simulation to Optimize Energy
Performance of the building. The objective is to provide further
information on EA Credit 1, streamline the LEED documentation process,
and provide a greater degree of consistency for both LEED applications
and reviewer comments. This manual should be considered a guiding
document on EA Credit 1 requirements. The intended users of this manual
are both LEED reviewers and applicants with intermediate or advanced
understanding of energy modeling, referenced standards, and energy
codes. This edition is primarily applicable to LEED for New Construction
& Major Renovations v2.2,LEED Core & Shell v2.0 and LEED for Schools and
can be adapted to apply to LEED Building Design and Construction 2009.
The Manual includes chapters containing overview of references
standards, key simulation outputs, submittal and documentation
checklist, summary of applicable CIRs, verification of proposed savings,
simulation input-output consistency, sample exceptional calculation
methodologies accepted by USGBC including natural ventilation and many
others. A book preview
<http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=7795>  is available.
