 All Project Applications submitted on or after January 1, 2015 must pursue a Performance Target of 15% better than the state energy code
that is in effect when the building is permitted. For example, MFHR projects pursuing ENERGY STAR certification in states that have adopted
ASHRAE 90.1-2010/2012 IECC are required to meet a Performance Target of 15% over ASHRAE 90.1-2010, rather than the national
requirement of 15% over ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Please visit the Program Requirements page for more information.

 To reduce the burden of applying two different codes to a given project, a Policy Record has been established that requires higher
performance targets based on earlier code years. More information is available in the Policy Record located on the Program Requirements
page.

 For the Performance Path, submission of the Excel file, with Basic Info, Reporting Summary, and the three lighting worksheets completed, is
mandatory. For projects using eQUEST, all worksheets are expected to be completed, except the SIR by Measure worksheet. For projects
using the Prescriptive Path, only the Basic Info, In-Unit Lighting, Interior Lighting, and Exterior Lighting tabs are required to be completed and
submitted, in order to verify compliance with lighting requirements of the Prescriptive Path.
