Hi,
I am currently working on a school project located in KSA. we are about to start the EA P2 and C1. I found that, it is a requirement to establish energy rating goal using EPA's target finder rating tool to meet the EA P2.
Help me decide whether it is really required to do this target finder exercise for projects outside use i.e. a school project in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
i believe this energy star rating will well suit and widely recognised and used in the states of US not for other countries where they have their own rating for equipment.
Also the results will not be reliable due to afore said reasons.
Please clarify and thanks for your time.

International projects are exempt from this requirement.

Thanks Marcus for your prompt reply.
I am curious to know whether this is cited anywhere in any of the documents. If you provide any details of such document I will use that as supporting document to justify not using or submitting the results from EPA target finder tool.
I searched but not able to get any such document.
Thanks

If you use the latest version (v5) of the EAp2 form it says that projects outside the US are not eligible for a Target Finder score.
