Anybody know if LEED Reviewers are still allowing credit in energy models(LEED NC 2009 EAp2 and EAc1) for installing energy star appliances like dishwashers, clothes dryers, clothes washers, etc. and if so what methodology is acceptable to show credit? Thanks!

Yes credit is still allowed. Follow the exceptional calculation method - Section 1.7 in the form. The baseline for most appliances can be determined from Energy Star and then simply compare your appliances to the baseline to determine savings.
