Ene12 Local energy performance asset rating – Above Green

(3 credits available)

Aim

To recognise operational energy efficiency and carbon benefits associated with benchmarking against a local energy standard.

Question

Has the asset been assessed against local energy performance standards for existing buildings?
Was the assessment of the asset a legal or regulatory requirement or undertaken voluntarily?
Has the assessment been verified against a recognised industry standard by a third party
What energy uses does the rating take account of?
Is the rating based on calculated or measured energy consumption?
What metric is used to determine energy performance?
Enter the energy performance value metric for the asset, if available.
Enter the benchmark energy performance value for the asset type, if available.

Assessment criteria

Criterion	Assessment criteria
1	For assessments inside the European Union (EU), local energy performance standards must be derived from national policy framework which exists to facilitate the EU ‘Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)’.
2	For assessments outside of the EU, energy performance standards must be derived from relevant national policy framework.
3	Benchmarks must correspond to the typical or average energy performance value for the asset type. If the benchmark is given as an interval, the midpoint should be used.

Methodology

Asset energy performance

The third credit for the Asset energy performance will only be awarded if the asset energy performance is lower than the benchmark energy performance for the asset type.

Recognised industry standards

Examples of recognised industry standards include;
