FAQs about EAp2 :

Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?

We have an international project and the space type is eligible for an Energy Star rating. Can we pursue Case 1 to demonstrate compliance given the recently released alternative compliance paths for international projects?

We have a number of buildings on a single campus that we would like to certify at the same time. Is it possible to benchmark the buildings at the campus level?

I have a mixed-use building and am wondering if it is possible to pursue the prerequisite through Case 1. How do we proceed?

We have a building that consists of two attached structures and it’s unclear if we have to consider it a single building or if it should be certified as two separate buildings and benchmarked accordingly. How should we proceed?

How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?

Our building includes heavy process loads that significantly increase the overall energy use in the building. If we submeter these loads, can we exclude this energy use for benchmarking purposes?

We have installed submeters on our building but the utility bill includes energy use from several other buildings located on the same campus. How do we reconcile this during the LEED review process?

When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?

What do I do if the number of building occupants, operating hours, or vacant space changes during the performance period?

If you pursue the streamlined path for an Energy Star label, should the performance period for EAc6 match the 12-month time frame of the label?

How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

How should I treat vacant space on Portfolio Manager?

1-floor renovation in an 2009 EBOM Certified Building

I am proposing on a project in which the scope is the renovation of a single floor of a 10 story building that is currently LEED 2009 EBOM certified. My question is, does this renovation need to submit for LEED certification as well or if there is some level of documentation that will have to be provided to maintain the existing building certification?

This is a question that you need to ask directly to your base building management. LEED-EBOM certificates do expire and require regular re-certification. Depending on which credits the base building is pursuing and whether they are going to be going for a One-Off or Recertification application and when their next recertification period is, they may need information from you. Given that the information varies based on the timing and scope of which credits they are pursuing, it really is something you'd need to gather from them. If they are going to need information, a large portion of it are items that would also be tracked via a LEED-CI certification (if you wanted to attempt that on your project). This is something that you could look at pursuing if your client was interested.
