CI-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

Relocated UPS

We are currently working on a project that includes a 120 kVA UPS that is not Energy Star rated. This equipment was brought from another facility; should we include this in our EAp2 calculations? If we do, our ES rated percentage drops significantly and would actually impede us from the certification. We already went through the initial review, and since the floor plan shows a UPS room, the reviewers are asking for it. Should we just clarify that this equipment was relocated? What evidence should we submit? Is this path even possible? Thank you for the help!

I believe that you only need to count new equipment so this should not hurt you. So clarify that it was relocated. Is there a drawing or other documentation indicating that this equipment was not new and would be provided?

We do not have any additional documentation indicating that. Could a letter from the owners indicating the origin of the UPS suffice?

Sounds like the next best thing. If the owner makes a claim it is accepted by the reviewer as fact unless there is any evidence to the contrary.
