FAQs about EAc1.4 :

Does my piece of equipment qualify for Energy Star? Is there an Energy Star label for my piece of equipment? Where can I find out more about Energy Star and how it relates to my equipment type?

There is not an Energy Star category for a very specific type of an appliance that fits within a broader appliance category. Can I exclude my product?

Does anyone have experience submitting this for an innovation credit under the LEED-NC rating system? Would one gain an innovation point if 70% of eligible equipment was demonstrated to be ENERGY STAR (by rated power)?

In terms of NC, the only approach I know of where the project can benefit from choosing Energy Star appliances is through an exceptional calculation in the energy model. I have not seen the CI approach used to achieve an ID credit for NC and suspect the reviewers wouldn't see it as transferable from CI, where energy models are unusual.
