PATH 1. ENERGY STAR® NEXTGEN™ TARGET (1–5 POINTS)
Determine the target by multiplying the ENERGY STAR® NextGen™ Direct GHGi target by 1.4.
Reference the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager Technical Reference for ENERGY STAR® NextGen™ and direct GHGi Targets. [72]
OR
PATH 2. HISTORICAL BASELINE TARGET (1–5 POINTS)
Calculate the total GHG emissions from on-site combustion for the current 12-month reporting period compared to a historical baseline from a 12-month reporting period with similar occupancy occurring within eight years before the end of the 12-month reporting period.
Historical data may be normalized against the reporting period for weather or operational variables such as occupancy or production throughput.
OR
PATH 3. ON-SITE COMBUSTION EMISSIONS INTENSITY TARGET (1–5 POINTS)
Available only to projects using EAp3: Minimum Energy Performance, Option 2 .
Determine on-site combustion emissions intensity targets for the project’s building type(s) and climate zone according to Appendix II.
Table 1. Points for percentage reduction below on-site combustion emissions targets
| Points | % reduction below on-site combustion emissions targets |
|---|---|
| 1 | 20% |
| 2 | 40% |
| 3 | 60% |
| 4 | 80% |
| 5 | 100% |
AND/OR
Option 2. Renewable Energy (1–4 points)
Supply or procure renewable energy meeting the renewable energy criteria below. Points are awarded according to Table 2.
