When creating a project, selecting one or more use types is required. Use types may be selected by clicking the “+” sign at the far right of the field. A pop-up will appear with the DDx building use types. Once the use type is selected and the area is entered, a baseline calculated from Zero Tool will be generated, along with the 2030 Target, representing an 80% reduction of pEUI from the baseline. Additional use types can then be added.
Zero Tool has its own set of use types that are based on the ENERGY STAR Target Finder use type set. To enable the Baseline Zero Tool Calculation, which calculates the Baseline EUI for the project, the DDx use type set has been mapped to the Zero Tool use type set. The Zero Tool calculation is calculated through the Zero Tool web services API. By default, the Baseline EUI is calculated using the minimum input requirements for the use types selected for the project. You may be able to calculate a more detailed Baseline EUI by visiting the Zero Tool website.
