Hi, a company will be working with provisional natural gas boilers, but in a year's time two boilers will be replaced by a biomass boiler whish will be working on sawdust. The fase out of the provisional boilers is already planned, but the LEED project will finished before this replacement, in consequence the commissioning of this equipement is not possible to be performed within the LEED prpoject timeframe. Is it possible to commit the commissioning in order to include this renewable energy source? and is this saw dust boiler eligible since the sawdust comes from untreated wood waste?

Hi Jose,I think the only way to include those boilers would be to delay applying for LEED certification until they are installed--but be careful that it doesn't take too long, as there is a limit to how long after construction you can apply. Alternately, you could forego LEED certification from new construction, and, after two years, apply for EBOM certification.
