Hi,
I'm working on a project where the owner has interest in adding a roof mounted PV system that is connected to the facility and the grid in the LEED project/boundary and in the associated construction contract. However the 50kW array (approx. 33% of facility consumption) will be provided, installed, and maintained by a subcontractor who will own the system for a period of time and pay for the system through savings, participating in the local utility program that will pay a premium per kWh for onsite generation. Obviously, and regrettably, we cannot claim EAc2 credit under 2009, however is it acceptable to include the onsite generation capacity in the energy model?
