Being that my project is a convention center, it does not qualify for energy star. Therefore, I am using the EAp2 Case 2 offline calculator in conjunction with the EPA portfolio manager tool online. Option 2B Historic Data appears to apply to us since we have already compared our facility with 5 other convention centers. The result of that comparison were not helpful since they were all approx. 300 EUI less, due to all being previously LEED certified. My question is: how do I go about fulfilling option 2B? Upon inputting the EUI for the last four years, the offline spreadsheet continues to say N/A for the "Approximate percentile above National Average."

Jessica, we are working on a convention center as well and taking this approach. Your best bet is to not use LEED certified facilities. Have you joined the working group on Energy Star? Can we take this conversation offline, we have been through the ringer on this credit because of the data and calculator. Please email me at jeff@ecopreserve.net. Look forward to talking with you
