• Provide hourly monitoring and visualization of electric energy use for:

o Commercial kitchen equipment in project spaces with more than 20 kW of rated

capacity.

o Process equipment in project spaces with more than 20 kW of rated capacity.

• Training : Train operations staff to use the EIS to proactively inform energy-efficient operations or confirm training occurred within the past six years .

OR

PATH 2. ENHANCED MBCX (2 POINTS)

Comply with Path 1 and implement the following enhanced MBCx practices and software capabilities:

• Provide MBCx through a corporate MBCx program or contracted service. Fully coordinate the MBCx process between the space operations staff and the monitoringbased commissioning provider (MBCxP).

• Process and communications : The MBCxP process must include:

o Expeditious communication of major anomalies or faults identified by MBCxP to

facilities staff.

o At least quarterly, an MBCxP summary of anomalies and faults detected and

communication with facilities staff to discuss and prioritize issues.

o For projects with fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), training of operations staff in

the use of FDD to proactively identify and correct building system issues for optimized system operation or a confirmation that training occurred within the past six years.

Enhanced energy information system (EIS). Include the following additional functionality:

• Normalization of energy consumption

• Automated reporting of energy use anomalies

• Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions reporting

• Hourly metering and visualization of electricity for the following, if applicable:

o On-site electricity generation

o At least 90% of lighting power altered or installed in the project scope of work.

o HVAC or refrigeration equipment with thermal energy capacity exceeding 900,000

Btu/hr (264 kW, 75 tons), or with rated fan power exceeding 75 hp (56 kW).

o Electricity use for process equipment with thermal energy capacity exceeding

900,000 Btu/hr (264 kW, 75 tons)

FDD for projects with large HVAC and refrigeration capacity. For total project installed capacity of either cooling systems, heating systems, or refrigeration systems exceeding 7,200 kBtu/hr
