We are contemplating changeing form LEED v4 to LEED v4.1 for renewable energy with a 100% owned PV system on-site. Has anyone found the LEED Renewable Energy Calculator that is required to be uploaded.

I'm not fully convinced it exists yet since it's not even on the v4.1 calculators page under Resources - https://www.usgbc.org/resources?LEED+Resources=%5B%22Calculators%22%5D&V....

Dear All,
According to v4.1 do heat pumps belong to Tier1 category? If the energy will be provided in equal rate from boilers and heat pumps than we shoud calculate 50% renewable? Or this percentage has to be modified according to the heat pumps' COP? Thank You in advance for your help.

Heat pumps are not considered renwable at all, even if they are groundsource heat pumps.

Hi everyone, I reached out to LEEDcoach/GBCI and received the following response today (4/7/21):
"The Renewable Energy calculator is still in development and we do not have an ETA for it at this time. If you are submitting the v4.1 credit for review before the calculator is published, please provide a project-specific tabulation of renewable energy and carbon offset procurement, listing the amount of each Tier of renewable energy and carbon offsets purchased, the annual Percent Site Energy Offset for each Tier and Percent of total annual GHG emissions offset for carbon offsets, and the length of each contract."
