I would like to clarify how a small project can comply with advanced energy metering. In the LEED Reference Guide there is a paragrpah that speaks to End Uses beign grouped by occupancy type... whereby the energy manager may separatley monitor different spaces types and acount for different energy usage patterns. We have a small renovation where we would like to monitor separate occupancy types with a meter for each space type rather than trying to separate the various electrical uses within each space. The spaces are a Teaching Kitchen, an Incubator space, restrooms, cafe and a community composting area. Would this meet the require of tmentshe credit?

Just grouping the usage by space type would not meet the requirements of the credit.

Can you please clarify the language in teh LEED Reference Guide? Otherwise it would seem to place smaller projects at a great disadvantage for these credits.

The economy is in the first place. All projects that make the entering and saving of power consumption easier are really very important. I would like to have such a meter. Actually, in the last few months, I am reading more and more information about energy and how to save it more efficiently. I am even planning to install some solar panels at home. And I learned what is Ofgem. It is the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets, which was formed when the office of Electricity Regulation (OFFER) merged with the Office of Gas Supply (OFGAS).
