EBOM-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Efficiency Performance
I am analyzing a 40 story vertical mixed use tower for LEED EBOM. It is split 50/50 between office and condos-both under separate ownership, management, and metering. Based on supplemental guidance for MPR #2, LEED allows to define the project boundary as a partial building (basically excluding the condos).
My questions are:
a) Can we submit a partial building for energy star?
b) Can we submit the whole building Energy Star score for LEED?

Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?
How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?
When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?
How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

Alyson:
I'm a little confused by how you worded your questions. Can you clarify your intentions here: for a) do you want a full ENERGY STAR certification (the plaque), which has its own review process separate from LEED, or just a score for your project?
Also, you mention "partial building" in a) but "whole building" in b). I would not recommend using different methods for ENERGY STAR and for LEED. Is that truly what you meant to ask?
If you can clarify this for me I'll address your overall questions.
