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?

I don't think you have to provide the Target Finder score for v4 projects.
In v2009 you can't get a Target Finder score for that property type (see link below) so you don't have to complete that part of the form.

Hi Marcus,
do you confirm that for projects outside US we do not need to upload any documentation related with Target Finder performance results in LEED template?

Yes that is correct
