Target Finder

I am working on a sanitation maintenance garage, which is a major renovation project, and I plugged the necessary info at EPA Target Finder. The project property type I selected was Public Service: Others. I input the energy use data for this property from last year, both electric and natural gas, to have a comparison value with the Design Target that Target Finder will generate. The performance results were ugly. The current EUI has dramatically higher than the 75% median and the Design Target. Even with the HVAC, lighting, and plumbing upgrades we're going to design, i doubt we will meet the Design Target. Has anyone else had an issue like this for this credit since Target Finder performance results are required? Is there a way to bypass Target Finder results and just go by the energy use reduction % between the baseline and proposed energy model for this project?
