FAQs about EAc1.4 :

Does my piece of equipment qualify for Energy Star? Is there an Energy Star label for my piece of equipment? Where can I find out more about Energy Star and how it relates to my equipment type?

There is not an Energy Star category for a very specific type of an appliance that fits within a broader appliance category. Can I exclude my product?

Hi, We purchased a Kenmore Refrigerator for our new office, which is pursuing LEED CI, and instead of it having an Energy Star sticker, it says it is EEV Rated. From my search online, it seems that EEV is an equivalent to Energy Star. Is my assumption correct, and can I list this Refrigerator as an Energy Star appliance for this credit? Thank you! Monika

Monika, I would be a bit leery of this. LEED can be particular about needing to see a specific certification program. You could try it, though.

I would recommend that you demonstrate equivalency in your documentation if you try to claim it.
