B: By the project obtaining a HERS index
C: By obtaining an ENERGY STAR for Homes rating
D: By using the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager

参考答案: A

本题解释:
正确答案：A
系统解析: A:In LEED v4, BD+C projects use ASHRAE 90.1-2010 to determine the baseline building performance.

B:HERS index is for LEED for Homes projects. This question indicates that the project is an eight-story residential building, so LEED BD+C: Multifamily Midrise would be used.

C:LEED for Homes minimum energy performance requires meeting the requirements of ENERGY STAR for Homes.

D:EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager can be used to compare buildings of similar size and function (office to office, for example).

The baseline building performance is ’the annual energy cost for a building design, used as a baseline for comparison with above-standard design.’ - USGBC
