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.

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.
