Report Energy Data Commit to reporting the following data to USGBC at least annually: monthly energy data for 12 consecutive months of total energ y consumption for each energy source, on-site renewable energy generation, and peak electrical demand. This commitment must carry forward for five years or until the building changes ownership or lessee.
Exception for Core and Shell projects Future tenant utility services and meters that will be installed in the tenant scope of work.
REQUIREMENTS EXPLAINED
The prerequisite requires the installation of devices to monitor and record monthly energy use per energy source and peak electric demand and to report monthly energy use data to USGBC post-occupancy for all buildings.
New construction projects subject to the ASHRAE Standard 90.1 provisions referenced by this prerequisite must also provide metering and sub-metering of electricity at 15-minute intervals, and additional reporting capabilities. Electrical system designers should evaluate these requirements early in the project design to ensure the electrical distribution, circuitry, wiring necessary to accommodate the required submetering. Addressing these requirements too late in the design can substantially escalate costs.
Record and report data so owners and facility managers can access and use it to make informed decisions on energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction strategies.
Refer to Table 1 for a summary of the prerequisite energy metering and reporting requirements.
