I was wondering if someone could clarify something for me. We have a situation where we need to submeter our builidng because it currently shares a meter with other buildings. The reference guide says building management can either own the meter or a third party (utility company) can own the meter. However, the LEED online forms require you to upload 3 utility bills to prove the energy data you entered in energy star matches. If you (the building owner) owns the meter how is it possible to get utility bills for it?

Rachel,
In my experience project teams in this situation have been allowed to submit detailed records of consumption based on reads of the submeter. Because this is a prereq and you want to be extra sure that your approach is acceptable, I'd recommend submitting a customer service question once your project is registered to clarify that this approach would be a-okay.
