CI Project outside US - Energy Star list

I don't believe this is required supporting documentation. Unless the credit form requests this documentation, it is not required for submittal.

LEED Interpretation 10043 addresses a similar situation: "The project should pursue the prerequisite using the standard approach, identifying all equipment that has actually achieved an Energy Star rating as such, and identifying all local Chinese products that meet the Energy Star criteria as Energy Star equipment. Backup must be provided showing that these Chinese products meet the Energy Star criteria."

It sounds like the brochures you have documenting compliance with Energy Star criteria will be sufficient.

Hi Samantha/Romina

Im working for a project where the appliances in building are local energy star certified. I understand from one of the CIR's that even though the product is not energy star certified, as long as it meets the energy star certification criteria, it can be counted towards energy star certified product. If my interpretation is correct, what is the way to show that the product meets energy star criteria? Is there any calculator available in LEEDUser or EPA energy star website? Can you please guide me.

Thanks

Hi Srimannarayana,

You'd have to provide documentation (I assume from a third-party certifier) that the product meets the ES specifications for the product category: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=product_specs.pt_product_specs.
