The energy cost offset from onsite renewable energy cannot be used to demonstrate compliance with the prerequisite. Can this cost offset still be credited to the proposed energy cost savings for this credit?

CI-v4 EAc2:Optimize energy performance

Optimize energy performance OPTION 2 Points for installing ENERGY STAR equipment and appliances

I am looking into the Equipment and appliances points for the perscriptive path. What documentaion is required to show the percentage of energy star products? Is there a list for what needs to be included in that percentage? I can't seem to find any more detailed information other than the Table 3 that is provided. It also says calculate their percentage of the total (by rated-power) ENERGY STAR–eligible products in the project. So if there isnt an energy star appliance that quifies dont count it as part of the total?

You need to provide a list of all of the applicable Energy Star eligible equipment (appliances, office equipment, electronics, and commercial food service equipment (HVAC, lighting, and building envelope products are excluded from this credit)) that will be used in the space. So if there is not an Energy Star category for a particular piece of equipment you can ignore it. If there is an Energy Star category you must include it.

Hello, a follow-up question on rated power: where to find rated power information for appliances or how to calculate the appliance's rated power? Thanks! EnergyStar and the manufacturer's specs do not include this information; for example: https://www.energystar.gov/productfinder/product/certified-residential-refrigerators/details-plus/2385005

Rated power is typically found directly on the appliance itself along withthe model #, etc. All electrical equipment is required to have such a label.
