Our project has about 50 tenants, which in some cases have small cooling unit in specified spaces, such as small data center. Also we to have some unit in staff room in undergrounds floors.
These devices are not interconnected in the BAS. Is the project eligible to achieve this credit?

The intent of the credit is to be able to monitor and control major energy using systems in your building. I would encourage your client to install a simple BAS, something like a series of communicating thermostats, or a daisy chain of DDC cards in the AC units. This will save operating cost in the long run. Does the building have a large central HVAC system that is monitored and controlled by a BAS? Or is the HVAC system a series of package units?
