I have read quite a bit about the Performance Period and I want to be sure I am understanding things correctly. Basically, if the project meets the Energy Star minimum of 69 today (I haven't registered the project yet) and we add some upgrades within the next couple of months, and the Energy Star rate goes to 70, then we have already met the twelve-month minimum performance period? In other words, because we have the previous twelve month's electricity bills, we have already met the twelve month performance period requirement? If we were satisfied with the original Energy Star number of 69, we could have submitted immediately and not needed to wait or even upgrade (except if we want more energy points). I know there is a three month performance period for other credits/prerequsites, but I am just being clear on the twleve month performance period. The Owner signed a lease stating he would have the building EBOM Silver within 12 months and will incur a penalty if he is not done. Unfortunately, just hiring and figuring out the credits and doing the audits have cut the timeline down to nine months left before the due date and the project has not even been registered yet. Please clarify.
