How can I apply for Option 3, if my project doesn't a whole building utility meter installed? Our LEED building is located on a "campus". So the campus does have a utility meter installed. My question is, can we use a submeter, installed at the LEED building in order to provide USGBC with the utility data?

The campus submeter(s) for your building would still count as "whole building meters" for your project building, even though they are not owned by the utility. As an example, many campus buildings could be served from a combination of electricity, steam, hot water, chilled water, domestic water, etc., and each of these that you have would require a submeter that serves only the project building.
