FAQs about EAc6 :

If my project is using Energy Star Portfolio Manager to benchmark my building, are the emissions reported within Portfolio Manager considered reported "through formal participation in a third-party voluntary reporting or certification program,” as requi

What is the best way to demonstrate energy efficiency initiatives that have been implemented at the building and the corresponding amount of emissions reductions?

My project is located outside of the U.S.—can I still document this credit using Energy Star Portfolio Manager?

Are projects eligible for this credit if they are purchasing renewable energy credits that offset 100% of the annual energy consumption?

EBOM-2009 EAc6:Emissions Reduction Reporting

EAc6 baseline and PP?

It says there is to be a baseline year to compare with the performance period. My project is an addition to an existing building that has never been certified. So do I need to first have a year of data for the baseline and then a year of performance period to compare?

Hi Kasandra, in this case the "baseline" is essentially just tracking emissions using a third-party program like Energy Star. Then you'll need to provide a list of completed efficiency measures and the estimated emissions reduction achieved by each one. I'm not sure how the addition/existing building situation would come into play, but if you're generating a Statement of Energy Performance for EAp2, you can just provide that under EAc6 along with the list of measures/emissions reductions. Check out the Documentation Toolkit tab for some good examples.

So I can just monitor for a year? I will be using Energy Star.

Ok great - you can just provide the SEP from Energy Star (which will show the building's overall emissions), along with the list of measures implemented and the associated emissions reductions.
