Hi, I am involved in EBOM case with a data center.
As noted above, basically we do not need calibration since we use data from utility bill.
Yet for a data center we have to measure UPS output energy to get rating in energy star.
In my case there are meters for UPS, however since this is for 24 hour 365day facility, they cannot perform calibration. Do you have any idea what I can do for this?
Thank you,

Shoko, My first thought is to look at when the meters where installed, and determine if they are even due for calibration yet. In some case, meters are designed to no require calibration for very long periods of time, and for LEED you can simply document that per the manufacturers guidelines, no calibration is necessarily.

Jenny, Thank you for your comment.
After I sent my question, I found in Energy Metering section of online Form they ask only for "annual site energy usage" and for this amount we do not have to include the data of UPS output. Therefore, I believe we can mark "Energy meters are owned by a third party" not to upload calibration reports, in the case we can use utility bill for the amount of site energy usage, which include IT energy as well.
Do you think this is right understanding?
Thank you,
Shoko

Shoko, I think you have the right approach here.
