if our CS project goes with option 3, what space usage data will the mgmt company, who will only control the common areas (after building is complete) be required to share? in other words, there will be several tenant spaces that will be fit out by a future tenant (ownership not rental) and these spaces will have their own meter. what meter usage data will the mgmt company be responsible to report to satisfy this credit and MPR 6? only what they have control over or does the developer/owner need to include a requirement in the sales agreement that requires the future tenant to share their meter data for 5 years?
Thanks,

You would need to do M&V for the whole building so you will need to share the data from the whole building. The point of sharing the data is so USGBC can see how the whole building is performing and compare it to other whole buildings.

Thank you, Marcus.
I understand that, but i guess I am confused by what that means for CS projects and future tenants. How does the base building get the tenants to share that data when/if they install submeters? Is this something that has to be put in sales agreement? The base building scope sets up metering infrastructure so these future tenants to one day have the ability to meter their space. I understand this credit doesn't require them to actual install the meters.
According to other posts, its seems likely that if only electric utility meters where installed in the future tenants spaces, then it would meet credit requirements. So, would these meters need to feed a central system that the base building will report?

How you get the data from the tenants is pretty much up to the building owner. I do not think that a sales agreement is required. All energy sources would need to e reported for the entire building. By committing to MPR 6 the owner is committing to providing the data.
