FAQs about EAp1 :

How do you generate the annual energy use breakdown by end-use?

What’s the difference between demand and consumption, in terms of energy costs and energy cost savings?

Who can perform the ASHRAE Level I audit? Can it be done in-house?

To what degree is it necessary to follow the ASHRAE Procedures document? Is this provided as a general, optional guide, or must it be followed precisely, using the ASHRAE forms and completing the audit using the ASHRAE methodology?

How is the target EUI established?

EBOM-2009 EAp1:Energy Efficiency Best Management Practices

Performance Period

Our team submitted a project demonstrating that the building had its performance period for a specific credit done during one (1) year, although the changes and alterations had been made during two (2) years, and only after the clarify we realized the mistake we had done. Can we change the performance period on the second time we submit a project (clarification submittal)?

Paola - in my experience, this depends on which credit you're talking about and whether you are planning to extend the performance back in time or extend it in the other direction. In most cases, if you said your performance period was, for example, 8.4.10-8.4.11, it would be not problem to revise the documentation after the preliminary review to show the performance period as 8.4.09-8.4.11, since for first time certifications you can have up to a two year performance period.

Jenny, I believe your example answered our doubts. Our previous performance period was, for credit EA 1 and Pre requisit 1, from 1.2.10 - 31.1.11, but it had to be 1.2.09 - 31.1.11. Therefore we will write a narrative explaining the situation just to have them to know what happened. Thus, you are a expert, and what you said confirmed what we believe. Thank you!

Can the performance period be different for EA P1 the other credits, like MR credits? We'd like to do our energy audit now, but likely won't do our MR credits for a couple of months. We want the performance period of the MR credits to only be 3 months, because we don't want to track them for longer then that. So my question is can our performance period be 1 year or so for EA P1 (as to include the energy model we do now) and our MR credits be only 3 months, as long as they all end on the same date? (or do they even need to end on the same date? THanks!

Nena, The performance period for any credit can be extended earlier in time, up to 24 months, as long as all performance periods end within 30 days of each other. (However, don't overlook the requirement that your building operating plan, sequence of operations, and preventive maintenance schedule all need to be in effect for the full performance period, so those would need to be developed before the ASHRAE Level 1 Audit.)
