I'm new to this site, and while not new to LEED projects have never pursued EA Credit 5. The more I dig into it the more vague everything becomes, and more confused I get! Is it required anywhere on what kind of metering must be done and how often? Can we use information from the utility companies meter or do we have to install a "smart" meter upstream that sends information digitally to someone? The utility company may or may not provide information digitally back to owner, and if so may only be monthly with their billing. Everying thing I read about this point tends to refer to the M&V Plan, which we are creating. So I'm still now sure what is required by this credit. We are looking at the Option B path. For this specific project the only thing that will use gas is the boiler plant. To know the gas use of the boilers, we only need to measure gas use to the plant, which will be done by the utility company. So I'm not sure if we even need to install another meter.
