Our project has completed a full ISO 50001 certification last year and is not due for a renewal until 2018. The ACP for the ISO 50001 certification states that the certification had to be completed within the last 12 months.
That timeframe likely falls within our performance period but probably not in the actual submittal stage. I would estimate we will be about 14 or 15 months past the actual certification.
Does anyone know from when the 12 months count?
Thank you!

The 12 months are the maximum length between the date the onsite audit occurred (not the time of report report writing) and the date of submission to the GBCI for review.

Thanks for the quick reply! We'll be right outside of that timeframe then - too bad. They only do the full certification every three years.
So, I have one follow-up question then: The project will be undergoing a surveillance audit for the ISO 50001 certification which will likely fall into the performance period. Would that documentation be usable?

Without knowing what is exactly included within your surveillance audit I cannot comment.
If the audit performed during the performance period includes review/confirmation of building operating plan, systems narrative, sequence of operations, and preventative maintenance plan then yes it would be usable.
If the audit performed during the performance period includes elements of a Preliminary Energy Use Analysis and/or Walk-Through Analysis then yest it would be usable.
Hope this helps.
