Hi, I was wondering if you need water bills to generate a Energy Star Rating. The Reference guide says "The energy data must include data from electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, diesel fuel, district steam or hot water, district chilled water, propane, and wood." Portfolio manager has a place to upload water meter info., but is this necessary to generate an energy star rating?

Hi Rachael -
Water data is not necessary for EAp2/EAc1. You do not need to upload this information to get an Energy Star score. However, the water tracking portion of Portfolio Manager can be a useful (though not required) tool for complying with WEc1.
