How do projects on combustion-fueled district energy systems approach this prereq & credit?
Many campus projects with a central plant are now being designed to use no fossil fuel on site, but use heating and service hot water heating from a fossil fuel campus source. It makes more financial and energy sense to connect to a campus system than to add heating systems to a new or renovated building, but it does mean that full electrification can't be achieved on day one. I would love to see a path to earn some points under the credit for projects in this scenario where the campus has a decarbonization plan for the central plant and no new sources of combustion are added by the individual project. And for district energy projects to be exempted from generating decarbonization plans beyond their project boundary for the prereq, as that work is outside the project scope.
