FAQs about EAc6 :

If my project is using Energy Star Portfolio Manager to benchmark my building, are the emissions reported within Portfolio Manager considered reported "through formal participation in a third-party voluntary reporting or certification program,” as requi

What is the best way to demonstrate energy efficiency initiatives that have been implemented at the building and the corresponding amount of emissions reductions?

My project is located outside of the U.S.—can I still document this credit using Energy Star Portfolio Manager?

Are projects eligible for this credit if they are purchasing renewable energy credits that offset 100% of the annual energy consumption?

EBOM-2009 EAc6:Emissions Reduction Reporting

Statement Of Energy Performance valid for France ?

Hi, I'm a french engineer and I'm wondering if the SEP considers the region of the study. Indeed my site is in France, thus does the GHG emissions result use french emission factor ? Same question with the national median comparison. Thank you for your answers. Florian

Hi Florian Energy Star has multi-national partners, and France is one of these partners. My understanding is that these partners use local emission factors and national median comparisons. I would check to see if Energy Star has your project's city within their database to verify. Thanks, Hannah

I believe that I saw guidance (don't remember exactly where , probably Energy Star help) indicating that Energy Star uses the default US emissions to calculate GHG emissions for international projects. I've used their numbers successfully to document this credit. I've recently found reliable numbers for Hungary and will include those - alongside the US baseline - in my upcoming submission. I imagine France will be much lower than the US because of the high percentage of nuclear in the energy mix.
