NC-2009 EAc1:Optimize Energy Performance

Greenhouse energy consumption

We are working on a factory in Chicago which will have food producing greenhouses on the roof. We are pursuing LEED Platinum and are wondering how to prevent being penalized for energy use by the greenhouses. Someone mentioned that the USGBC provided some special allowance or designation for the greenhouses. Does anyone know about this?

The energy used by the green house would likely be a process load and modeled identically in both cases.
