Under option one for compliance (energy simulation), which measures can credit be taken for? Ex: Envelope, HVAC, Lighting, Process Loads, DHW, etc.
Also, how can one establish if LEED CI is right for a given project compared to LEED NC if the scope of the project may overlap.

The specific modeling protocol is spelled out in the Reference Guide. You can get credit for or penalized for the base building systems under this protocol. You can claim savings for all energy end uses.
