We like to seek for an advice for EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance, we are pursuing "Case 2, Option 2: Benchmarking against Historical Data" our quarries are listed below:

Declaration of historical year

The declared performance period of the project is from June 1, 2023 up to May 31 2024, with an establishment period of February 2023 up to May 2023. Our question is in terms of the historical year which of this approach should we consider

OPTION 1:

Year 1: January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020

Year 2: January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021

Year 3: January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 

OPTION 2:

Year 1: June 1, 2020 – May 31, 2023

Year 2: June 1, 2021 – May 31, 2022

Year 3: June 1, 2022 – May 31, 2023

Which of the two options should we consider to finalize the calculations?

HISTORICAL DATA

In line with our quarries in item no.1 which of the two options mentioned above should we consider in determining the historical annual production output.

ANNUAL PRODUCTION OUTPUT

Our project is using a group approach composed of two separate production building, Building 5 & Building 6. The project has a data for their annual production output but this data is combined for both building or should we break down for accurate computation for annual weather-normalized source energy use intensity

ELECTRIC METER READING (ENERGY BILLING)

The electric utility provider conducts its meter reading every 25th of the month, and the billing period (e.g. the billing period is from 25-July 2023 to 24-August 2023, and the billing date is 26-August 2023). Can we consider the data for the metering for this period for the month of August 2023?
