Ashu, if the building type (e.g., office) is eligible for an Energy Star rating, the team must use Case 1 - Energy Star. International projects can still generate a rating for an eligible space type. See the top of p. 157 of the v2009 Reference Guide for information about how to generate ratings for buildings outside of the Unites States.
