Inquiry

We are requesting a USGBC credit interpretation for LEED 2.1 Energy & Atmosphere Credit 1, Optimize Energy Performance. Our project consists of a University recreation center with a pool and spa within a natatorium. Do we need to include the energy required to heat the pool and spa within our building energy compliance? We consider the pool heat to be similar to a plug load and thus a Non-regulated load that would not be included in the Energy Cost Budget Compliance Form.
