energy consumption monthly and annually, with system capable of maintaining all data collected for 36 months.
The monitoring system must include functionality for tenants to access their electricity data.
Use third-party energy monitoring services or applications to comply with the data reporting and storage requirements.
Graphically display electricity data in buildings that are required to have digital control systems (buildings with air handling units with fans > 10 hp (7.5 kW), chilled water 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. 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 .
On-site renewable energy All projects shall separately monitor on-site renewable energy generation. Projects subject to ASHRAE Standard 90.1 monitoring and recording requirements must record renewable electricity data in 15-minute intervals. Major renovations or small buildings eligible for exceptions to ASHRAE 90.1-2019, Section 10.4.6 or ASHRAE 90.1-2022, Section 10.4.7 require only monthly data collection.
