Electricity data must be graphically displayed in buildings that are required to have digital control systems - for example, buildings with air handling units with fans > 10 hp (7.5 kW), CHW plants, or hot water plants.

ASHRAE Standard 90.1 version Projects registered before January 1, 2028, must reference the energy monitoring and recording requirements in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 or later version. Projects registered on or after January 1, 2028, must use the slightly augmented energy monitoring and recording requirements from ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2022 . For example, ASHRAE 90.1-2022 adds a submetering requirement for refrigeration systems.

Additional considerations Teams that use a single version of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 for EAp2: Minimum Energy Efficiency, EAp3: Fundamental Commissioning, and EAp4: Energy Metering and Reporting can streamline documentation efforts.

International Energy Conservation Codes (IECC) equivalent standard IECC is an approved equivalent standard for this prerequisite. IECC 2021 requirements can replace ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 . IECC 2024 requirements can replace ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2022 .

New energy service connections to the tenant For each new service connection of electricity, fuel, or thermal energy delivered directly to the project space from outside the building’s site boundary, provide measurement devices capable of monitoring energy use at least monthly. Examples include fuel, district heating, or district cooling delivered from a utility or from a campus energy plant to directly to the project space.

Initial buildout less than 10,000 square feet (929 square meters) or alteration replacing electric power distribution Provide measurement devices capable of monitoring monthly electricity use for the project, excluding shared system uses, such as central air handling units.

On-site renewable energy For any new on-site renewable energy system, projects must provide new meters that can measure, record and report on energy generation. For projects that are 10,000 square feet (929 square meters) or greater, record data in 15-minute intervals. Projects that do not meet this threshold can provide data monthly.
