Provide meters for each utility connection installed in the project scope, each district energy source supplied to the project, and all on-site renewable energy.

If the project is a new commercial building that is at least 25,000 sq. ft. (2,323 sq. m.) or a residential project with at least 10,000 sq. ft. (929 sq. m.) of common space, comply with the ASHRAE 90.1 monitoring and reporting provisions:

- At 15-minute intervals, provide electricity metering capable of monitoring total

electrical use associated with the project scope of work. Include all common area and shared space electrical use, plus electric usage for tenant systems and equipment installed in the project scope.

- Provide electricity end-use submetering at 15-minute intervals for HVAC, interior

lighting, exterior lighting, and receptacles installed within the project scope. Include all common area and site energy use, all shared HVAC equipment, and any HVAC, lighting, or receptacles installed in tenant spaces.

- For each tenant space ≥ 10,000 sq. ft. (929 sq. m.) with electrical systems in scope,

provide electricity submetering at 15-minute intervals for total tenant electricity in scope, and for HVAC, lighting, and receptacle end-uses in scope. If the future tenant configuration is unknown, install the necessary circuitry, wiring, and hardware to accommodate the required submetering upon tenant buildout.

- Provide required recording and reporting functionality. If networking functionality is

not operational upon substantial project completion, design the monitoring system to comply with the requirements upon activation of networking capabilities.

- If the required monitoring, data storage, and/or reporting functionalities are in the

tenant scope, these may be excluded from the core and shell project scope.

REPORTING FOR CORE AND SHELL

Annually report energy data to USGBC for at least five years for the meters controlled by the owner.

Additional considerations Teams can report all data, including tenant energy use. However, this is not required to meet the prerequisite.
