FAQs about EAc1.4 :

Does my piece of equipment qualify for Energy Star? Is there an Energy Star label for my piece of equipment? Where can I find out more about Energy Star and how it relates to my equipment type?

There is not an Energy Star category for a very specific type of an appliance that fits within a broader appliance category. Can I exclude my product?

Pilot Credit / ID Credit for NC

I am trying to use this on a new construction, residential project. Has anyone been successful in using this credit as a pilot credit or innovation credit for NC? If so, was it 50% or 100% Energy Star appliances. Thanks.

This would not be eligible for an innovation credit in LEED-NC. Savings energy is already covered in existing LEED credits in NC. You can do an exceptional calculation in your energy model and claim energy savings for Energy Star appliances. This is not based on the % of appliances but on calculated energy savings. If you could show significant water savings from such appliances (washers, diswashers, etc.) perhaps is would be an innovation credit related to water use reduction. I would guess that this has been attempted in the past so check the ID credit catalog and the LEED Interpretations for guidance.
