EBOM-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Efficiency Performance
We are doing a LEED EB project in India. EStar having only 4 locations in India, our project location is only 100 mile far away from the EStar specified location. Climate are almost same of both cities. so my question is that can we take EStar specified city for Energy star benchmarking or should be use Offline calculator.

Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?
How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?
When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?
How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

Ashu,
Choosing the location within the Energy Star list that is nearest is the right strategy, in my opinion, particularly if it has a similar climate. Generally, if the building is ratable by Energy Star (e.g., an office building), you must do the benchmarking that way.
