receptacles, and refrigeration), and for on-site renewable electricity generation. (See ASHRAE 90.1, Section 8.4.3 criteria, ignoring exceptions addressing building area).

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

ADDITIONAL EIS SOFTWARE FUNCTIONALITY For new construction of buildings larger than 25,000 square feet (2,323 square meters), provide additional functionality for the EIS:

o Automated reporting of energy use anomalies

o Normalization of energy consumption

o Greenhouse gas emissions reporting

REQUIREMENTS EXPLAINED: CORE AND SHELL

Option 1. Enhanced Commissioning

PATH 1. ENHANCED COMMISSIONING FOR BUILDING ENCLOSURE

Same as BD+C: New Construction Option 1, Path 2.

PATH 2. ENHANCED COMMISSIONING FOR BUILDING ENCLOSURE AND MEP SYSTEMS

To achieve 2 points under Option 1, Core and Shell projects must address both Building Enclosure and MEP systems. This encourages a focus on the envelope, which often has the greatest impact on building lifetime performance for the Core and Shell scope of work. Refer to the additional guidance above for BD+C: New Construction Option 1, Paths 1 and 2.

For Core and Shell projects, commission systems and equipment installed in the base building scope of work.

Base buildings often install central air handling units or central plant equipment that require future interconnections to tenant-provided systems or components (such as VAV terminal units, or fan coils, or water loop heat pumps. For these systems, the CxP must provide templates that support the tenant in commissioning of these interconnections. These should provide a listing of key considerations that should be evaluated during design review, sample functional test procedures, and sample systems manual content that the tenant would include to address the tenant design.
