FAQs about EAp2 :

How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

How should I treat vacant space on Portfolio Manager?

Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?

We have an international project and the space type is eligible for an Energy Star rating. Can we pursue Case 1 to demonstrate compliance given the recently released alternative compliance paths for international projects?

We have a number of buildings on a single campus that we would like to certify at the same time. Is it possible to benchmark the buildings at the campus level?

I have a mixed-use building and am wondering if it is possible to pursue the prerequisite through Case 1. How do we proceed?

We have a building that consists of two attached structures and it’s unclear if we have to consider it a single building or if it should be certified as two separate buildings and benchmarked accordingly. How should we proceed?

How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?

Our building includes heavy process loads that significantly increase the overall energy use in the building. If we submeter these loads, can we exclude this energy use for benchmarking purposes?

We have installed submeters on our building but the utility bill includes energy use from several other buildings located on the same campus. How do we reconcile this during the LEED review process?

When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?

What do I do if the number of building occupants, operating hours, or vacant space changes during the performance period?

If you pursue the streamlined path for an Energy Star label, should the performance period for EAc6 match the 12-month time frame of the label?

EBOM-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Efficiency Performance

International Project not eligible for Energy Star Rating

Hi, I am involved in EBOM case located in Korea. I have a couple of Qustions based on the case. We needs to meet the requirements of LEED O&M Certification EA Pre-requisite Case2 option1. Thus we are using EnergyStar Portfolio Manager to prove that our project has achieved 19% energy consumption reduction compared to the data from Portfolio Manager national average EUI consumption data report. In order to use correct data for certification, which of the Site EUI or Source EUI should be used? The Portfolio Manager addresses only the consumption reduction of Source EUI in % but not the Site EUI % (though we can calculate % of the Site EUI reduction by ourselves while the actual amount of Site EUI is written at the report). Secondly, we have downloaded Case2 Calculator v1.2 from this USGBC link “http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-ebom-v2009-eap2-eac1case2-calculator-v12”. And would like to know if the Excel template is compulsory to be filled and submitted as a part of LEED Certification proof data. Please let me know if I have an inappropriate approach for my proof data of LEED Certification. Thank you very much in advance p.s I appologize for such long question :/

Se Hyeung, You need to use source EUI for EBOM, and yes, you must include the completed LEED calculator as part of your application.
