Confirmation of an energy mix for the building either alternative energy and/or renewable energy system

Guidance

If the project has an energy mix (solar/diesel/gas), then the project team are required to supply a short report which details their energy mix for the building. This should describe the energy mix (solar/diesel/gas) in order to understand the inputs for the EWP calculator. This should include how the solar is reticulated. This ought be presented in a brief short report so that Assessors have no need to require additional information to understand the energy mix.

The GBCSA request that the following be submitted within Round 1 submission;
1. The dates of the energy performance period is to be clearly stated in the submission.
2. The 12 consecutive months or the prior year/period which are being compared to the 12 conservative months of the performance period has been clearly indicated.
3. Project teams will be allowed to show a variance (this may not exceed a period of more than 21 Days) in the billing number of days as long as the municipal bill still covers the month being compared to (start in the same month of the year before), and that the period that they compare/measure in the year before is for a full 12 months (or more) of municipal bills
4. Municipal data/signed off data - this may be for 12 months and if the billing is in the form of 11 municipal accounts it will be accepted as long as the consecutive months coincide (with dates clearly highlighted) and accumulate to the 12 months of performance data.
