I am wondering if a commercial building, where over 90% of the building is submetered tenant space would qualify for this credit. There are separate submeters for the tenants plug load/lighting and the AC usage.
Thanks

This sounds like it might work, as long as the aggregate of the sub-metered data covers 40% of the total annual energy consumption and 80% of the largest energy use category, based on the energy use breakdown. But you also need to take into account base-building energy consumption in your break-down.
Let me know if you have any other questions on this - the energy end-use break-down seems to be a driving point to achieving this credit.
Thanks,
Hannah
