Hello. I'm working on a Campus project that are designing a large PV installation in the roof and façade of the different building as they are built, but that will cover also areas outside of the buildings.
We are preparing to Pre-approve campus credits for master site infrastructure, and then certify the buildings taking advantage of the pre-approved credits. However during Campus review we will not have the individual buildings Energy Model, to define the individual design estimated consumption, to compare with the entire system of PV and define the percentage of renewables campus wide. We have a Master Site consumption estimation made by the energy designer, calculated with energy intensities, by FTE and/or constructed area. Do you think that this numbers may help us to pre-approve the credit, and then confirm the values during individual certification?
Thanks!

I would ask GBCI what to do. The submission of EAc2 as part of the Master Site sounds like a bit of a mess. If you don't have the completed models anything you do submit will be a very rough estimate that will have to be adjusted for each individual submission. i would be tempted not to submit it under the Master Site submission and submit EAc2 with each project individually and allocate a portion of the campus PV to each individual project.

Thanks Marcus.
For the moment, I think that would be the way we will proceed. We have this most probable decission for the considerations you mention and also because of the uncertainty of funding for such a large PV Project. That will most likely occur when each Building Project are budgeted and approved, and therefore the renewables will be more building-based rather than mastersite based. Thanks for your input.
