PE Stamp on SEP

A PE stamp is only required to show credit compliance if EPA's Portfolio Manager is used.
Yes, this is an odd requirement since a PE is not required to verify the information used to document EAc1 and EAp2.

Anyone else have thoughts to why the reference guide was written as such?

Hmm. I just checked out the Reference Guide, and that statement regarding the PE stamp only shows up in the "Examples" section, as far as I can tell...So my guess is that the example was just trying to give some flavor for how Energy Star works, and the statement doesn't really stand as a requirement for compliance (the example section is kind of soft content in the Reference Guide, not the place for laying down the law).

I've never seen a reviewer reject an SEP submitted for EAc6 due to a lack of a stamp.

Just this week one of my projects received the Project Review Report; for the Emissions Reductions Credit they did not flag us for not having a PE verify the CO2 emission calculations. (we used the EPA Portfolio Manager program)

On page #227 of the reference guide, under the"Timeline" heading it states that "a team that uses EPA's Portfolio Manager program to calculate the CO2 emissions must have a professional engineer verify the calculations".

Apparently they don't enforce this. . . well, at least not on this project.

Hi,

For this credit the Professional engineer needs to be a professional in United States?
I’m an environmental Engineer in Mexico, but I can't add mi professional license on EPA's portfolio manager program, because it only has the option to select a state from US.
Does exists a way to add a license from Mexico?

Thanks in advance,

David - the consensus seems to be that the requirement for a PE at all seems to be in error. I'm not sure if there is a way to add a license from Mexico, but really it shouldn't be necessary to provide the license.
