If the building was awarded an Energy Star label in April 2013 with 80 points and now we are submitting for certification in January 2014 (less than a year from being awarded the label).
If we found out that at the end of the PP the current score has been improved and it is now 82 points Can we select the "No Recent Label" and use the new figure and gain the 2 extra points OR it will be flagged as "You DO have a recent Label within the last 12 month from the submittal date and the project should seek the Streamlined Path?

Hello Jalal:
It's your choice. In LEED Online, the streamlined paths are always optional, never required. The intent is to give you flexibility in how you document EAp2, not to force you down a certain path. So, if you prefer to use the standard documentation path in LEED Online to take full advantage of your improved score of 82, that's perfectly fine. No one at GBCI will object; in fact, they will celebrate that you have improved your building!
