FAQs about EAp2 :

I have a mixed-use building and am wondering if it is possible to pursue the prerequisite through Case 1. How do we proceed?

We have a building that consists of two attached structures and it’s unclear if we have to consider it a single building or if it should be certified as two separate buildings and benchmarked accordingly. How should we proceed?

How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?

Our building includes heavy process loads that significantly increase the overall energy use in the building. If we submeter these loads, can we exclude this energy use for benchmarking purposes?

We have installed submeters on our building but the utility bill includes energy use from several other buildings located on the same campus. How do we reconcile this during the LEED review process?

When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?

What do I do if the number of building occupants, operating hours, or vacant space changes during the performance period?

If you pursue the streamlined path for an Energy Star label, should the performance period for EAc6 match the 12-month time frame of the label?

How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

How should I treat vacant space on Portfolio Manager?

Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?

We have an international project and the space type is eligible for an Energy Star rating. Can we pursue Case 1 to demonstrate compliance given the recently released alternative compliance paths for international projects?

We have a number of buildings on a single campus that we would like to certify at the same time. Is it possible to benchmark the buildings at the campus level?

We are working on a LEED EBOM project and having trouble with changing the Administrator for the building's Energy Star Portfolio Manager. The PM for the building was set up by previous owners with one of their employees as the Administrator so the current owners are unable to fully access the PM. We have tried following the "Transfer Facility Access" link in PM but because we don't have the Administrator's code, we can't make the transfer. We have submitted the question to Energy Star but they take a long time to respond so we are hoping you might be able to advise us.

Julie, you've done the right thing and since you don't know the old code I know of no better way. All I know to do is wait for ENERGY STAR to respond. Sorry.

If the building isn't too complex, and depending on your history in Portfolio Manager, and if you have "view" access, it may be worth investing a few hours to create a new PM entry and abandon the old one.

Thank you for the feedback. We were finally able to reconcile it with Energy Star.
