If a university building is tied in to a campus chilled water distribution, does the campus chiller plant have to be included in the building's refrigerant use?
If the building is only to use chilled water coils from this loop, does this satisfy the requirement?

Yes, the campus chiller plant must be included on the calculations, check section 2.6 in the district energy guide http://www.usgbc.org/resources/des-district-energy-systems-guidance-v22-...
To my knowledge you do not need additional chillers or heat pumps in the project building to satisfy the credit.
