ENERGY STAR® Certification Audit: Instructions |
||
|
To help ensure the integrity of the ENERGY STAR brand, EPA is performing audits on certification applications to ensure that all energy use is accounted for accurately, the building characteristics have been properly reported, and indoor environmental quality has not been compromised in pursuit of energy conservation. Your application has been randomly selected for an audit and will be processed alongside the information you provide in this audit document. The status of your application is contingent on the approval of all entries in your application and audit.
As part of the audit process, EPA is requesting that you provide detailed explanations and/or documentation for each of the following application sections:
- Property Information - provide a description of your property along with details from your site visit - Indoor Environmental Quality - provide a completed version of the Indoor Environmental Quality Measurement Form. You may have already completed this form as part of your site visit. If not, a copy has been included in the same email as this audit form. Refer to the Guide for Licensed Professionals for more information: www.energystar.gov/lpguide. - Total Building Energy Use - explain what fuel types are being used at the property and provide the 12 months of utility bills that were included in the application for each meter. - Property Use Details - provide an explanation of how values were determined for all property use details, along with supporting documentation as appropriate and available.
When reviewing this audit documentation, EPA is looking for both an explanation of how all values were confirmed during the site visit as well as proof that the applicant and LP understand Portfolio Manager definitions and policies.
