Comply with the following requirements:
Energy Monitoring
-
Have permanently installed energy meters or submeters that measure total building energy consumption for each energy source (electricity, on-site renewable electricity, natural gas, chilled water, steam, hot water, fuel oil, propane, etc.). Utility-owned meters capable of aggregating total project energy use by energy source are acceptable. Delivered fuels, such as propane, oil, diesel, or wood, must be tracked and reported by delivery date and amount if they are not metered or submetered.
-
Calibrate meters within the manufacturer’s recommended interval if the project owner or management organization has oversight over the meter.
-
Tenant meters may be excluded for up to 10% of the gross building area. When excluded, the associated area shall also be excluded to determine the intensity of energy use or GHG emissions.
Report Energy Data
Report monthly energy use data by energy source for the 12-month reporting period. Following certification, commit to ongoing reporting of monthly energy data on an annual basis.
