To be consistent with the intent of the credit, it sounds like you'd want to follow Case 2 (prepare an M&V plan) for the full occupied building and follow Case 1 (sub-metering) for the partially occupied building.

Yes sir, but not sure if a hybrid is permitted. However our MEP argued from a holistic perspective, the M&V plan is unnecessary (work) so our approach should be to follow Case 1, arguing that the total space constitute <75 percent of total area thereby we simply submeter.
What you think? A quick reply is appreciated, I got to conclude this matter in a meeting tomorrow!

The first question that I would pose is whether these two buildings/projects can even be submitted as a single CI project..... I would think not.
