Equesters,
You were all of great help when I was doing my last energy model, thank you.
I am now struggling with some other LEED related items & wonder if anyone
knows about a chat group like this where engineers can discuss other LEED
related issues. Specifically, I am trying to find AC systems that are VERY
efficient with their use of refrigerant, (< 2 lb/Ton).
thanks so much,

Mike Diess, PE, LEED AP

You might try the LEEDUser.com site, there are some subscription options, as well as free forums.

You could try the HVAC forum at
http://www.eng-tips.com/index.cfm

Someone there may be able to help.

The BLDG-RATE mailing list also hosted at onebuilding.org
was intended to help:

"BLDG-RATE is a mailing list for people using building
performance rating systems. Discussions of any green
building performance rating system or building energy
performance rating system are welcome. Some of the most
common rating systems include the LEED rating systems (New
Construction, Existing Buildings, Homes, etc.), ENERGY STAR
(Label for Buildings, Target Finder, Home), BREEAM, various
Home Energy Rating Systems (HERS), and Green Globes.
Building rating systems provide a method to objectively
grade, or benchmark, the environmental and/or energy
performance of both commercial and residential buildings
providing a score that others can understand. Discussions of
design-oriented as well as operation-oriented rating systems
are encouraged. Many building rating systems are in use
today and conversations relating to any and all of them may
take place on the mailing list. People of all experience
levels ranging from those just learning to experts are urged
to share their questions and answers on the mailing list. "

See http://onebuilding.org/ on how to subscribe.
