Use logs or status reports to document preventive maintenance of ventilation systems.

A form like this will be needed for all AHUs that are not capable of meeting the outdoor airflow required by ASHRAE 62.1-2007; these AHUs must provide a minimum of 10 cfm in order to meet the prerequisite.

Provide documentation of the Energy Star rating or certificate award from the EPA.

The Energy Star Portfolio Manager Statement of Energy Performance verifies your project building’s energy use intensity (EUI), as well as the national average for buildings of similar usage. You’ll need to submit this, as well as the EAc1 Option B/C Calculator, to show that your building’s energy efficiency is at least 21% better than the national average.

If using any mercury-free lamps such as LEDs, show manufacturer documentation that the lamps are at least as energy-efficient as mercury-containing counterparts.

Screw-base compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that meet voluntary National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) guidelines (see link below) may be excluded from the purchasing plan, because the credit encourages their use instead of less-efficient incandescent bulbs.

Provide cut sheets for at least 20% of the lamps purchased during the performance period.

Use a lamp inventory worksheet to evaluate existing mercury content, to develop a lamp purchasing plan, and to track lamp purchases during the performance period.

Create an EPP policy that guides sustainable purchasing for those products purchases that are within the building and site management’s control.

Use scale drawings to show the project boundary and the location of all illumination measurement points around the boundary. Maintain records of measurement protocols and data points.
