If pursuing Option 2, what is the scope of the energy model if the space shares a central plant, and what type of software should be used?

For Option 1, Zoning and Controls, is a thermostat considered an “active control capable of sensing space demand"?

If all of my zone equipment and my chillers prescriptively comply with the Core Performance Requirements, but for HHW we have heat exchangers with purchased steam from a district source, then do I need to show that the efficiency of the steam boilers at the plant comply with the Core Performance Requirements? Or is the heating equipment exempt since there are no boilers on site? Thanks for your help.

Marcus, I have the correct version of the Core Performance Requirements, but it says nothing of purchased heat. I'll submit an inquiry to USGBC.

I think the heating equipment would be exempt.
