campus energy plant

Our LEED review of EAp2 seems to indicate that we cannot model the central plant and have to use “purchased chilled water” for both the baseline and proposed. When this change is made all of the enhancements that we have in the central plant are negated and our percentage improvement over the baseline drops. The LEED review states as follows: "Table 1.4.6 indicates that the Proposed Case model is utilizing Option 2 of the Treatment of District or Campus Thermal Energy in LEED v2 and LEED 2009 - Design & Construction (DES v2) dated August 10, 2010 which can be accessed at: https://new.usgbc.org/resources/des-district-energy-systems-guidance-v22-and-v2009-guidance-v20. However, it is unclear whether the Monitoring or Modeling method has been used to determine the average DES cooling efficiency per Appendix C. Revise the model as necessary, provide a narrative, and additional documentation confirming the method used for calculating the average DES cooling efficiency and provide revised simulation inputs reflecting any changes." Any help in clearing this up will be greatly appreciated!!
