FAQs about EAc1 :

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?

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 are certifying a multi tenant building with different types of use. One of the use is a fitness center with an indoor swimming pool. Should I enter the ftness area separate from the swimming pool In ENERGY STAR?

Hi Hatice The way I understand the function of ENERGY STAR's Portfolio Manager is that a pool is entered as a component function of the overarching space-type. So you would have to enter the Fitness Center space in order to enter the pool attributes. Here's the definition of a pool from the Portfolio Manager glossary: "In order to enter buildings associated with a Swimming Pool, the main property use must be entered (e.g., K-12 School, Hotel, Fitness Center/Health Club/Gym, etc)." Regardless of my guidance, I would suggest submitting an inquiry ticket to ENERGY STAR about this question. When I have unique situations like this, I will submit a ticket because they have a quick turnaround (usually a couple of days, but under a week) and their guidance tends to be the end-all for guidance on how to establish your profile. Good luck, Hannah
