All:

A question regarding energy modeling with respect to ASHRAE compliance and
LEED's Optimized Energy Performance Credit.

I am in the process of creating an energy model using eQUEST for a new
building on a campus. The building will utilize the campus' central plant
for steam and chilled water distribution piping.

Question: When creating the energy model, I assume the energy costs, as
required for LEED, would be calculated for all local (building, not central
plant) building systems and would not include energy/cost data from the
campus' central plant. In eQUEST, how does one separate energy consumption
data of the building from the central plant?

Thanks -
