With a 54 unit highrise condo, what would be acceptable to meter to meet the requirements of the credit. Individual unit electric meters? I can't imagine putting CTs on 130 individual heat pump units? There is no lighting control panels per se to monitor. What would you suggest we monitor as part of the M&V plan

Hey Rob,
The metering needs to get to individual energy end uses (i.e. lighting, plug loads, HVAC, etc.) and does not have to be permenent. You might consider doing some spot measurements and short-term trending on a sampling of units as a possibility if you can get enough owners to cooperate. Having a whole unit meter on those would be a good idea too (assuming that the units are not separately metered already).
You don't have to measure everything but need to derive everything based on your measurements.
