EBOM-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Efficiency Performance
Hi,
In our project 36 No of 25 Watts individual solar street light is available. We could not meter the energy consumption of each individual solar light because there is no common panel for all the lights. Kindly advice me how to document for energy star portfolio manager.

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?

Satheesh,
It depends on your situation. Here is a quote from ENERGY STAR's online help related to metering solar energy production:
"However, if your solar panels generate a nominal amount of electricity (i.e. less than 1 % of your total energy), you can exclude them from your property."
In other words, if your 36 solar street lights, taken together, produce less than 1% of your property's total energy in a year, you don't need to do anything. Simply document this fact for the LEED reviewer. If they are more than 1%, you must meter some of them until the unmetered total becomes less than 1%.
