FAQs about EAc5 :

How should we approach this credit for residential buildings where tenants are paying their own utilities?

Our project already includes a full direct digital control (DDC) system for HVAC. Does this satisfy the submetering requirements of this credit?

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?

What should the plan for corrective action contain?

Why are project teams awarded a point for following the requirements of a Minimum Program Requirement? I am not complaining, I love free points!... just curious. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. thanks.

The MPR is a requirement for most project but not all. There are loopholes being closed by making it a prerequisite in v4. USGBC wants the data to see how LEED projects are performing. And the other options for M&V are commonly confused and often not even implemented. Rather give a point for data than 3 points for a worthless plan. Those are the ones off the top of my head.

Actually, you only get the point if you sign the project up for Portfolio Manager and set up automatic reporting. So you are going beyond the MPR, which just asks for reporting "if" you have meters.
