Does anyone have experience in getting credit for Combined Heat & Power systems in LEED 3.0?  I feel like this should be included in the Multiple Buildings guide but haven't seen reference. I have reviewed the CHP calculation methodology but don't see how it ties to 3.0.

Hi Tracy,
I checked in with a colleague at the USGBC regarding your question and received a helpful response (Thanks to Jaime and the Technical Dept!)

Updates to the following documents are being made to align with LEED 3.0:

District Thermal Energy Treatment
EAc1 CHP Calculation Methodology - LEED-NC v2.2

In the interim projects should follow this current guidance posted on the webpage- http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=1762#chp.
 

I hope this helps!
