Monitoring and Software

EIS Include the additional functionality required for the EIS:

  • Normalization of energy consumption

  • Automated reporting of energy use anomalies

  • GHG emissions reporting

  • Additional hourly monitoring. For alterations to existing buildings or small initial buildouts less than 10,000 square feet (929 square meters), provide additional hourly metering for each of the following if applicable to the project scope:

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/h (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/h (264 kW, 75 tons)

The EIS shall provide visualization and analytics of this metered data.

FDD for Projects with Large HVAC or Refrigeration Capacity

FDD Software is only required for project scope that installs or alters a total capacity of equipment exceeding any of the following values:

  • Cooling . 7,200 kBtu/h (600 tons or 2110 kW)

  • Heating . 7,200 kBtu/h (2110 kW)

  • Refrigeration . 7,200 kBtu/h (600 tons or 2110 kW)

FDD is a program procedure for identifying and isolating system operational flaws. FDD uses data-driven or knowledge-driven techniques. Data-driven techniques include artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Knowledge-driven techniques include having an FDD specialist use qualitative methods to analyze fault scenarios. Refer to the credit language for minimum required FDD software functionality.

Include fault detection algorithms that address at least 60% of total air handling unit capacity. Additionally, include fault detection algorithms that address at least 60% of total combined capacity for large commercial refrigeration systems, large hydronic heating systems, and large hydronic cooling systems, where large systems are defined as a system with total installed capacity exceeding 7,200 kBtu/h (600 tons or 2110 kW).
