US Green Building Council Exam LEED-AP-O+M Topic 6 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for US Green Building Council's LEED-AP-O+M exam
Question #: 11
Topic #: 6
[All LEED-AP-O+M Questions]

How is the energy baseline determined in Minimum Energy Performance if the building type is not addressed by the ENERGY STAR rating tool?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When the building type is not covered by the ENERGY STAR rating tool, the energy baseline for Minimum Energy Performance can be determined using historical energy consumption data or a calibrated energy simulation. This approach allows for a tailored assessment of the building's energy use that is specific to its actual performance.

Options C and D sound a bit sketchy to me. Gotta go with the good old calibrated simulation for this one.

I see your point, but I still think calibrated energy simulation is the most accurate method for determining the energy baseline.

I think local energy supplier estimates could also be a good option if historical data is not available.

Hah, I bet the energy supplier would give us a 'calibrated' estimate that's way over the top! Historical data all the way.

I'm not sure about the national average data - doesn't that seem a bit too generic? I'd go with the calibrated simulation for a more accurate baseline.
