tenant from a utility, energy provider, or plant that is not in the building, provide measurement devices capable of measuring total energy consumption for each new service, at least monthly.
For new on-site renewable energy generation systems installed in the project scope, provide measurement devices capable of measuring renewable energy generation:
o At 15-minute intervals for tenant spaces larger than 10,000 square feet (929
square meters)
o At least monthly for interior spaces fewer than 10,000 square feet (929 square
meters)
Report energy data Commit to reporting the following data to USGBC at least annually: monthly energy data for 12 consecutive months of total energy consumption for each tenant-metered energy source; tenant-metered on-site renewable energy generation; and, if available, tenant-metered peak electrical demand. This commitment must carry forward for five years or until the building changes ownership or lessee.
