NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

CO2-eq emissions reduction

Dear all, Iam working on an international project and I can find my country and all countries in the list of Energy Star target finder, so I wonder why projects outside the US can't fill the target finder part? I also need to know where to find the % of "CO2-eq emissions reduction" (that is required in the LEEDonline form) in the Target finder results?

If you select your country and go all the way through to the results do you get results? If you don't get results then you won't have a Target Finder score to report. There were relatively recent changes to TF and Portfolio Manager. One of them I noticed was that in TF there are many more project types than there used to be but when you select one not covered by TF you get a message indicating that it can't give you a score. So make sure to run it all the way through and do not rely on a list in the entry page. The CO2 reduction % should be in the results.

I'm on Target Finder right now, I added all necessary info about my project and, when I look at the results I see no CO2-eq emissions reduction for either Design or Target anywhere.  Where do you find those values?

It should be in the table at the bottom of the page. If you didn’t find it, print the pdf report using the hyperlink on the left side of the screen and it should be in the pdf report.
