Hi,
my concern is about EA Pr-1, our Energy Score is of 86 (based on performance perios, 12 months data) where minimum required is 75.
A furtehr clarification asked about target index i.e. mentioned below, can you please suggest what would be the target index and how this can eb done?

-----provide a supplement to the EUI analysis that quantifies the potential cost savings that might be realized by enchancing energy efficiency to achieve the target index, as directed by the level I Analysis.

If your ENERGY STAR score is 86, I'd suggest setting a target of 90. This can be done through the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.

Based on the EUI associated with the target ES and the energy rates of the project building you will be able to calculate the cost savings if the target is achieved.

Hi Shelendra,
The reviewer also wants to see you quantify the cost savings of your target. If your target is 90, your energy auditor should report the energy consumption and cost savings associated with achieving that target.

Or you can approach the question with an inverse approach. Use the results of the energy audit to identify what would be a reasonable Energy Star target. If the report shows you can reduce energy consumption by xx,000 kWh per year, you can evaluate what the impact will be on your Energy Star score. Use the portfolio manager TargetFinder tool.

Thank you your suggestions.....

ya but if i fix the target of 90 so it would be for next year only and via energy manager tool, all details can be produced, i am concerning about award of point. if i will submit the details (with 90 target),....would points be awarded based on my score of 86 (achieved in performance period). please suggest...
