For the MPRs for a Core & Shell project, the five year data reporting period begins when occupancy achieves 50% of its "Typical Physical Occupancy". Is the start point the same for M&V?

The start point for the M&V effort should be outlined in your M&V plan. In most cases, the clock would start running at move-in, but in the case of phased occupancy as you describe, I think it is really up to the M&V folks on your team to identify the appropriate timing.

I agree with Chris on this, but would add that the building should be as close to full and stable long term occupancy as possible. The objective of M&V is to verify that the building is operating/performing as intended, and this can really only be accomplished if the building is occupied as intended.
