NC-v4 EAc2:Optimize energy performance

Target Finder

I am working on a sanitation maintenance garage, which is a major renovation project, and I plugged the necessary info at EPA Target Finder. The project property type I selected was Public Service: Others. I input the energy use data for this property from last year, both electric and natural gas, to have a comparison value with the Design Target that Target Finder will generate. The performance results were ugly. The current EUI has dramatically higher than the 75% median and the Design Target. Even with the HVAC, lighting, and plumbing upgrades we're going to design, i doubt we will meet the Design Target. Has anyone else had an issue like this for this credit since Target Finder performance results are required? Is there a way to bypass Target Finder results and just go by the energy use reduction % between the baseline and proposed energy model for this project?

I don't think you have to provide the Target Finder score for v4 projects. In v2009 you can't get a Target Finder score for that property type (see link below) so you don't have to complete that part of the form. https://www.energystar.gov/buildings/facility-owners-and-managers/existing-buildings/use-portfolio-manager/identify-your-property-type-0

Hi Marcus, do you confirm that for projects outside US we do not need to upload any documentation related with Target Finder performance results in LEED template? Regards,

Yes that is correct
