One of the use is a fitness center with an indoor swimming pool. Should I enter the ftness area separate from the swimming pool In ENERGY STAR?

Hi Hatice
The way I understand the function of ENERGY STAR's Portfolio Manager is that a pool is entered as a component function of the overarching space-type. So you would have to enter the Fitness Center space in order to enter the pool attributes. Here's the definition of a pool from the Portfolio Manager glossary: "In order to enter buildings associated with a Swimming Pool, the main property use must be entered (e.g., K-12 School, Hotel, Fitness Center/Health Club/Gym, etc)."
Regardless of my guidance, I would suggest submitting an inquiry ticket to ENERGY STAR about this question. When I have unique situations like this, I will submit a ticket because they have a quick turnaround (usually a couple of days, but under a week) and their guidance tends to be the end-all for guidance on how to establish your profile.
Good luck,
Hannah
