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?

It doesn't seem like this credit should be so complicated. We have a full DDC system in the new building, which is part of a campus. We already have a Honeywell team on site to monitor other buildings and rectify problems, and they'll be doing the same for the new building. Can't we just write up a summary of the DDC points and how exactly they'll be monitored and problems acted upon?

The purpose of this is to validate energy savings. DDC points and the information needed to perform the verification are very different things in many cases.
