Determine whether attempting EAc5.1, EAc5.2, or both is best for your project. Achieving both will earn your project a total of six points. You can attempt one or both—neither is dependent on the other.EAc5.1: Measurement and Verification—Base Building –

Determine whether attempting EAc5.1, EAc5.2, or both is best for your project. Achieving both will earn your project a total of six points. You can attempt one or both—neither is dependent on the other.

• EAc5.1: Measurement and Verification—Base Building – Develop an M&V program that measures the energy uses of the base building (as distinct from tenant spaces). If your project does not have any electrical equipment, it is ineligible for this credit.
• EAc5.2: Measurement and Verification—Tenant Submetering – You will only need to write an M&V plan for tenants to use and set up infrastructure, but don’t actually have to do any measurements—which is a good idea if your project will have LEED-CI tenants or if tenants plan to make energy improvements.
