EBOM-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Efficiency Performance
Hello. We will make the Eap2 by Energy Star. To do this we have invoices for the total consumption of the building (offices + CPD), and manual readings consumption of different meters. Is this enough to get the qualifying portfolio or need automated meter to take the differents readings?

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?

Hi Mercé,
The meters do not have to be automated in order to meet EAp2. So long as you have meters that monitor the entire consumption of the building, and those meters are calibrated or owned by the utility, you should be ok.
If you are thinking of pursuing EAc3.2 however, that credit requires that meters are readings are taken automatically. Manual readings do not work for that credit.
