Description
The ENERGY STAR Settings are used to set the Minimum Billing Period for Submission. The Minimum Billing Period for Submission dictates the earliest billing period that should be submitted to ENERGY STAR. This provides a convenient way to prevent older (less reliable) data from being submitted to the rating system. ENERGY STAR ratings may not be successfully returned if there are gaps in the historical billing records. Setting the Global Minimum Billing Period appropriately can improve the success rate for ENERGY STAR building rating submissions.
