[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.

D seems a bit off, short-term measurements might not capture the full picture.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about using local energy supplier estimates, so I might go with A.

I feel like national average source energy data could be relevant, which makes me lean towards C or D.

I'm pretty confident on this one. Since the building type isn't in ENERGY STAR, the best approach would be to use historical energy consumption data or a calibrated energy simulation to establish the baseline. Option B seems like the way to go.

Okay, I think I've got this. If the building type isn't covered by ENERGY STAR, then we'd need to use either historical energy data or a calibrated simulation to determine the baseline. I'll go with option B.

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

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.
