Is there a way to earn this prerequisite without meeting the Energy Star score of 75 or achieving a 25% improvement over the median building?

The LEED Reference Guide states that Case 1 “is available if the building has an official ENERGY STAR label that was awarded within the 12 months preceding the end of the LEED performance period” but it also seems to indicate that the ENERGY STAR scor

EBOM-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Sub-merters

Hi, we have a building that share some mechanical equipment with the adjacent building.

We would like to subtract the water tower consumption from the main building consumption. Can we only use the data registered form the water tower drives or we absolutely need a sub-meter? Thank you very much,

I'm not totally clear on the specifics of your situation but if you want to exclude energy use that is included on your project's main building meter but serves another building, that energy use must be directly metered. If this is the situation for the water tower, estimating energy use based on typical operations of the water tower drives wouldn't be an acceptable approach.
