Hello.

I´m modelling a new construction Healthcare building.

To insert the results of renewable energy generation in LEED EAp2 Template, exit 3 options:

- Automatic Cost Calculation
- Manual Cost Input
- Energy Model Includes Renewables

I have modeled renewable energy (PV + Solar thermal) directly in my energy model (EnergyPlus), but the results of generation energy are not subtracted of facility energy demanded.

So, when i choose option 1 (Automatic Cost Calculation) in LEED EAp2 Template, the renewable energy generated is subtracted from results of building energy consumption.

On the other hand, in EAc2 LEED Template, the renewable energy generation is specified and the LEED points are awarded.

As I understood, if you attempte EAp2 (EAc1) with Renewable energy included, you can´t attempte EAc2.

Is it correct?

What option i have to select in EAp2 LEED Template, related with renewable energy? To attempte EAc2 too.

Thanks
