Yes. Per the February 2010 Addenda, projects can meet the requirements of LEED-EBOM v2009 EAc1 within SSc1 Path 12. You'll want to make sure that you upload a copy of that LEED Credit Form as well as any supporting documentation it requires.

We are submitting for LEED silver (LEED 2009 for CI) for a Tenant Improvment project within an existing building that has an energy star rating of 95. The existing building is not LEED certified. Can we submit for SSc1, path 12 the energy star rating and proof to achieve this credit?

Yes. The base building does not need to actually be LEED certified for the tenant to pursue this credit. You will need to upload a copy of a sample LEED-EBOM v2009 EAc1 Credit Form into your project's SSc1 submission, however, to confirm your project's compliance. This is a requirement whenever you use a credit from another rating system. You can get the sample forms within LEED Online (link at top righthand side of page). You'd also want to upload documentation from the base building to validate the most recent official score.
