Question: Comments/Issue: Do we need to account for fuel oil used by back up generators?

***************** RESPONSE **********************

Dear [ ],

Thank you for contacting us. Fuel oil used for safety generators only, can be excluded from your energy consumption. You can select "no" in Portfolio Manager for backup generators fuel used. If you have any other questions, please contact buildings@energystar.gov.

Thank you,
Cara Pearson
ENERGY STAR Support

I will include this documentation of future projects, but wanted to share it here in the hopes that GBCI will see this and stop asking for this info.
