Yes. If you’re in this boat, check out the Energy Jumpstart pilot credit. This pilot credit is available for LEED v4 projects and requires a 10% improvement over a historic baseline for your building. Meeting the pilot credit won’t necessarily be easy, but it can be a viable option for buildings that are not yet in the top 25% of performers.
Question
Is there a way to earn this prerequisite without meeting the Energy Star score of 75 or achieving a 25% improvement over the median building?
