I'm trying to clarify how or what to provide in terms of historical data for an O+M project with a performance period that will begin at day 1 of occupancy in an NC project. The building is actually existing, but undergoing a renovation significant enough to meet the NC threshold. Not only is the building being extensively renovated, but the tenant is a completely different type of occupancy. Thank-you for any help or guidance you can offer.

In this case, I think tracking at least from the first day of the new occupancy would be required. If there has been a change in ownership, then you definitely would not be expected to include operating costs from before the renovation. If it is just a renovation + new tenant, you are getting into gray area as to whether or not you would need to have additional historic operating cost data, as this is not a typical situation. If ownership hasn't changed and the information is readily available for the 5 years prior to the renovation, I would go ahead and include it.
