Inquiry

Energy Star for Homes (EA 1) does not allow projects to meet the minimum HERS Index with renewable energy systems. Does this include solar DHW systems? For example, if a project just barely meets the minimum HERS Index requirement with a solar DHW system, is this acceptable for LEED for Homes.
