NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hi,
Group Approach: There are 3 owner occupied buildings (same type) within LEED boundary serve by the common (central) HVAC system. Energy modelling software is capable of modelling all three buildings in one simulation model.
I believe in such case we don't require to follow DES approach.

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?
For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?
Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?
Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?
Can mezzanines open to floors below be excluded from the energy model?
How do I provide a zip code for an international location?
For a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the climate zone?
For a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the Target Finder score?
Do hotel rooms need automatic light shut-off control?
How commonly are the 90.1 mandatory compliance forms submitted as part of EAp2/EAc1?
The Section 9 space-by-space method does not include residential space types. What should I use?
Can the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) be used to energy model for LEED?
Which baseline HVAC system do I use if my building has no heating or air conditioning?
Our project has a diesel backup generator. Should we include it in our energy model?
Can SHGC be higher in the proposed than in the baseline model?

Yes as long as that central plant only serves those three building and no others. By the way the DESv2 is not required for LEED 2009 projects. It is optional. The updated DES is required in LEED v4 projects.
