International Projects Benchmarking - Building Type Not in EStar

Jean, my understanding is that you would still use the USGBC's Case 2 calculator in this case (The calculators are available on the USGBC's website at http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=2054), and the IFMA data may not even come into play unless you are eligible for and decide to pursue Case 2, Option 2c. I agree that it's a good idea to investigate Case 2, Option 2b (comparison to historic data) first, once you verify that you are eligible for this approach. Anyone can freely sign up for an Energy Star account and use it to generate weather normalized source energy use data, reagardless of your building type or location in the world. You just create an account, add a project, enter the building location (many international cities are listed, but not all) and other details, provide the energy consumption data, and then you can have Energy Star output the weather normalized source EUI. Hope this helps.
