EBOM-2009 WEc1:Water Performance Measurement

Calibration report

We are pursuing this credit but meters in Spain are not calibrated nevermore once they are installed. When they are revised they are substituted if needed or every 4 years for example. So we can obtain the "accreditation certificate" by an external company verifying the calibration of the meter when it was installed, could it be enough to verify the correct operation of meters? if there is a meter that was changed before the performance period and it only was in operation for four years, do we have to substitute it?

On a recent project in Budapest we successfully cited local regulations which require installation of new, calibrated meters every 5 years. As our building is less than 5 years old the existing meters were accepted without any additional calibration records.

Yes, that works. Replacement meters are a sure way to get the credit and, in many cases, save considerable money.
