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

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.

baseline using historical data or energy simulation methods when ENERGY STAR® ratings are not
