I am trying to determine what the correct lease language should be used to qualify for the EA-1 points. Should the lease just say that the "lessee shall provide MEP equipment that will provide a building performance of minimum __% better than the baseline building performance according to Appendix G of ANSI/ASHREA/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007"?

Hi Chris, was this question ever answered? I have the same predicament but with a cold dark core & shell and not sure how the tenant(s) should go about meeting this prereq. Thanks

Hi Chris,
Typically what I do with my clients TLA is mimic the spec guidelines and then provide minimum standards. i.e. all AHU must EER/SEER of not less than ___, VFD....thermostat....etc. Since most tenants do not have the desire or the means to run a space model on their improvements, using improvement percentages alone usually don't achieve the end result desired and can leave your tenants frustrated. Its also a great idea to put metering or reporting standards in the requirements. Even if the energy is paid by the lessor, requiring measurement is key to achieving performance.
