FAQs about EAp2 :

Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?

We have an international project and the space type is eligible for an Energy Star rating. Can we pursue Case 1 to demonstrate compliance given the recently released alternative compliance paths for international projects?

We have a number of buildings on a single campus that we would like to certify at the same time. Is it possible to benchmark the buildings at the campus level?

I have a mixed-use building and am wondering if it is possible to pursue the prerequisite through Case 1. How do we proceed?

We have a building that consists of two attached structures and it’s unclear if we have to consider it a single building or if it should be certified as two separate buildings and benchmarked accordingly. How should we proceed?

How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?

Our building includes heavy process loads that significantly increase the overall energy use in the building. If we submeter these loads, can we exclude this energy use for benchmarking purposes?

We have installed submeters on our building but the utility bill includes energy use from several other buildings located on the same campus. How do we reconcile this during the LEED review process?

When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?

What do I do if the number of building occupants, operating hours, or vacant space changes during the performance period?

If you pursue the streamlined path for an Energy Star label, should the performance period for EAc6 match the 12-month time frame of the label?

How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

How should I treat vacant space on Portfolio Manager?

There is a possibility that in the 12 months of the Performance Period, during the first six months not obtained satisfactory results provided the measures and strategies to achieve the minimum score proven by consumption bills, and in the following months is managed to obtain satisfactorily according to the prerequisite minimum percentage. Or we should we take into account the performance period must begin strictly from the first month of verified satisfactory results with consumption bills.

Ronald: I believe your question is whether *each* of the 12 months must meet the minimum Energy Star score or whether they only need to when combined into a whole year. The answer is the second - Energy Star, and thus LEED, look at all 12 months taken together when determining compliance. Thus, if your score based on your most recent 12 months is high enough to pass the threshold, then you comply with LEED.
