FAQs about EAp1 :

How do you generate the annual energy use breakdown by end-use?

What’s the difference between demand and consumption, in terms of energy costs and energy cost savings?

Who can perform the ASHRAE Level I audit? Can it be done in-house?

To what degree is it necessary to follow the ASHRAE Procedures document? Is this provided as a general, optional guide, or must it be followed precisely, using the ASHRAE forms and completing the audit using the ASHRAE methodology?

How is the target EUI established?

EBOM-2009 EAp1:Energy Efficiency Best Management Practices

In house audit

I am interested in using our in house engineering staff to perform the ASHRAE level 1 audit required for this prereq, as well as the level 2 audit for c2.1. The manual states that in house staff can be used, and there is a reference to this in the bird's eye view if they "have the right background." Is there a credential requirement (PE, CEM, etc.) that is required for an in house staff member to be qualified to perform the audit, or is familiarity with the building and adherence to the ASHRAE methodology enough? Thank you.

LEED 2009 does not require the energy auditor to have any credentials. Adherence to the ASHRAE method, as oulined in "Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits" will allow achieve of EAp1 and EAc2.1.
