CI-2009 EAc1.4:Optimize Energy Performance—Equipment and Appliances

Steam Ovens and Energy Star Rating

Hi, I have a question regarding the Energy Star Rated Ovens. I´m working with a LEED CI 2009 project in Argentina and I´m having trouble finding an ES Rated Oven. For LEED CI I have to document that at least 50% of my energy use for appliances and equipment comes from ES certified products. The project is mainly a kitchen and a dining room. I have a doubt with the ES Steam Ovens and want to verify that "Qualifying Products: Any commercial steam cooker that meets the definition in Section 1A is eligible for the ENERGY STAR. For purposes of this Version 1.0 specification, only 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-pan capacity units may qualify for ENERGY STAR." This is taken from the document "Energy Star - Steam_Cooker_V1 0_FINAL_spec.pdf" from the Energy Star webpage..... I want to verify that a 10 or a 20-pan oven is indeed excluded from the ES Rating so far. Any input? Thanks!

As far as I can tell all steam cookers over 2 pans must comply. The document you cite appears to be from 2005 and could be out-of-date. The product criteria on the commercial steam cooker page indicates it applies to 3, 4, 5 and 6 pan or larger steam cookers.
