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.

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.

I think using national average source energy data is a good option for determining the energy baseline.
