Our project is a large office building with commercial kitchen (in house breakfast/lunch, etc). The building has hot water heaters for the kitchen, and a hot water heaters for everything else (basically restrooms). The systems are separate. The credit language suggests domestic hot water as a submeter category, it does not, though, list kitchen domestic hot water as a submeter category. Do you believe we would be able to submit just he kitchen domestic hot water as a sub-meter category? Do you believe GBCI would only accept that if we stated that kitchen domestic hot water is 80% or more of all building domestic hot water (i.e., kitchen plus other systems total)? Since the commercial kitchen has a combination of sinks, sprayers, dishwashers, etc. might GBCI suggest that sub-metered kitchen domestic hot water would have to be counted as "process". If we end up having to state that our kitchen domestic hot water is 80% or more of total - do you have any suggestions on how we demonstrate that (keeping in mind, there are, obviously, no meters on those other users to show they are 20% or less).
Thank you
