NorthWrite Solution |
|
Prerequisite #1 Existing Building Commissioning: A building must be commissioned and all low/no cost recommendations identified must be implemented within two years. |
NorthWrite tools for tracking and documentation of Energy Savings Measures satisfy this prerequisite.
|
| Prerequisite #2 Minimum Energy Performance: A building needs an Energy Star Benchmarking rate of 60+ to begin the certification process. |
Automated Energy Star Benchmarking provides this benchmark rating every time the utility information is updated.
|
| EA Credit 1; Optimize Energy Performance: A building that achieves an Energy Star Benchmark of 63-69 not only satisfies the prerequisite above, but gets 1-10 points toward LEED-EB Certification. |
Automated Energy Star Benchmarking provides current and historical benchmarks for each building.
