guidance. Calculate the PI and percentage improvement with and without the plug and process savings.

  • Calculate the PI and performance index target (PIt) as follows:

    • PInre = PBPnre / BBP

    • PI = PBP / BBP

    • PIt = [BBUE + (BPF x BBRE)] / BBP where :

o PInre = PI for future source energy excluding on-site renewable contribution

o PI = PI for future source energy including on-site renewable contribution

o PIt = performance index target for future source energy use

o BBP = baseline building performance for baseline building future source

energy use

o BBUE = baseline building unregulated future source energy use

o BBRE = baseline building regulated future source energy use

o PBPnre = proposed building performance without any credit for reduced

annual future source energy from on-site renewable energy generation systems

o PBP = proposed building performance, including the reduced annual future

source energy associated with all on-site renewable energy generation systems

Points are awarded according to Table 6, using either Path 1 or Path 2.
