FAQs about EAc1 :

How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

How should I treat vacant space on Portfolio Manager?

Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?

We have an international project and the space type is eligible for an Energy Star rating. Can we pursue Case 1 to demonstrate compliance given the recently released alternative compliance paths for international projects?

We have a number of buildings on a single campus that we would like to certify at the same time. Is it possible to benchmark the buildings at the campus level?

I have a mixed-use building and am wondering if it is possible to pursue the prerequisite through Case 1. How do we proceed?

We have a building that consists of two attached structures and it’s unclear if we have to consider it a single building or if it should be certified as two separate buildings and benchmarked accordingly. How should we proceed?

How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?

Our building includes heavy process loads that significantly increase the overall energy use in the building. If we submeter these loads, can we exclude this energy use for benchmarking purposes?

We have installed submeters on our building but the utility bill includes energy use from several other buildings located on the same campus. How do we reconcile this during the LEED review process?

When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?

What do I do if the number of building occupants, operating hours, or vacant space changes during the performance period?

If you pursue the streamlined path for an Energy Star label, should the performance period for EAc6 match the 12-month time frame of the label?

EBOM-2009 EAc1:Optimize Energy Performance

Energy Performance Period - ATC Operation & Programing Problems

On an upcoming LEED EBOM project approaching the performance we have had lots of problems with the exclusive ATC contractor (a major international company) correcting control and programing problems for years. We have the ability to remotely operate the facility, ID problems, request ATC corrections and meet the energy savings through operational overrides during the performance period. We are a seasoned commissioning provider and will be using Cx documentation but the client does not want to pursue Cx credits at this time as financial limitations are limiting them to certified level only. If we can have in place an improved maintenance contractual agreement such that the ATC provider will make “timely permanent” corrections from now through the performance period and we document their compliance through an Issues Log corrections list. Would this be an acceptable performance period process for EAp and EAc1 requirements?

EAp2 and EAc1 does not have correction requirement as long as the annual energy performance grant you compliance with EAp2 and credit under EAc1.
