Our project building is served by CHP system which generates both heat energy and electricity. Reference guide provides instruction and formulas how to calculate the CHP electricity generation allocated to building and proposed case CHP input fuel allocated to building. Does anyone know how these results should be presented or processed in Minimum Energy Performance Calculator since there isn't any place to put the results.

The cost of the gas used to run the CHP is included in the proposed case. The cost of the heat and electricity is then considered free and accounted for as such.

Thank you for your quick response. Do I still need to choose one DES path (1,2 or 3) in the Minimum energy Calculator? None of them seems suitable for presenting the amount of fuel used in CHP?
