FAQs about EAp2 :

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?

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?

EBOM-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Efficiency Performance

In order to use an Energy

In order to use an Energy Star label for the streamlined path, the Label must have been awarded within 12 months of the LEED application submittal date. For example, if you receive label award notification from Energy Star on March 5, 2012, you can use the score associated with the label as long as you submit your application to GBCI on or before March 5, 2013. IF our project was awarded an E* label on April, 2013 we then have till April, 2014 to submit and still use it. However, what should our PP for EAp2 and EAc 6 be?

Hi Nena, When you qualify for the streamlined path, the designation of the performance period isn't really important for EAp2. Like you described, the timeline shifts to having the label awarded within 12 months of the application submittal date. Given that, I would just assign the performance period end date on the prerequisite form to match the rest of the credits. For EAc6, the performance period end date should fall within 30 days of all the other credits and the credit documented accordingly.

Hi Ben, Thanks so much for the info. Should the earliest PP start date listed on the Pl form align with the earliest month of utility data entered in Energy star? Or should does it not need to? Our Energy * label was award in April, 2013 but the months of data used for that label where July, 2011 - July, 2012. So does my earliest PP start date on Pl from need to be July, 2011 or should it align with the other credits? The other prerequisites/credits go from Dec, 2012 - August, 2013 (but that is not a full year and Pl form requires a full year for the PP).

Hi Nena I would just align it with the other credits for the 12 months preceding. Thanks, Hannah

I do have a follow up question: If we were awarded an Energy Star label in April 2013 with 80 points and now we are submitting for certification in January 2014 (less than a year from being awarded the label). If we found out that the current score has been improved and it is now 82 points Can we select the "No Recent Label" and use the new figure and gain the 2 extra points OR it will be flagged as "You do have a recent Label within the last 12 month from the submittal date.

Any thoughts on whether WE HAVE TO use the streamlined approach?
