NC-2009 EAc5: Measurement and Verification
Is Option 3 (1 point) - Meet MPR 6 through compliance Opttion 1: Energy and Water Data Release Form.
Is option 3 available as a stand alone option or only as a exemplary performance if Options 1 or 2 are achieved (i.e. do not need to achieve options 1 or 2 to get the one point).
Thanks

Is the gas consumption of stoves, ovens, etc. required under this point?
When should a project consider Option B instead of Option D?
Is there a requirement to model baseline energy use as being 25% process loads?
Does this credit specify how energy use should be measured?

You earn one point for EAc5 if you agree to provide your data under MPR 6.

So it is basically a free point by just complying with the MPRs

Also, how far back can this point be claimed? I am working on a project that is under the NC-2009 rating system and is currently under review, but project was registered a couple years ago and at the time we indicated that we would be attempting 3 points for EAc5. However it looks like we will be at 59 points (1 point short of our desired Gold). We have been in the process of trying to get together the M+V Plan but with a significant cost. It would be great if we can stop our efforts and get the additional point under EAc5 Option 3.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Basically.
You could change your mind and pursue this option in the middle of your review.

Posted by Craig Graber, Atelier Ten:
Do you think that energy and water meters must actually be installed in order to achieve Option 3 (1 point) for the M&V credit? A project can gain exemption from MPR6 if meters are cost-prohibitive and not installed, but this approach seems too easy to qualify for the M&V point.
Thank you.

You need to provide the data. So if you claim the exemption you cannot earn the point.

Whole building utility meters are sufficient for this, correct? Just making sure I'm not missing something.

Yep that is correct.
