I posted this under MPR2 but thought I might get a response under this MPR as well... We have a project that may not have its permanent power for as long as a year after occupancy. I have read the MPR, particularly MPR 2, as well as the Supplemental Guidance but did not see anything referencing this issue. This would seem to affect Pif2 however the permanent power sources could be inserted here. Also EAc5 Option 3 may be affected or possibly only delayed. My questions then are does the fact that permanent power may be delayed affect certification overall, as well can EAc5 Option 3 be delayed until such time as the permanent power is connected?

The temporary power will be generators as there will not be power of any kind to the project otherwise. I should add that this project is in the Middle East and they have not yet extended power lines to the area where the project is located. It's in the works but may not be there for a year or so after occupancy. The MPR 6 Sharing Whole-Building Energy Use issue raises a flag to me, they will have meters and I guess the power can be tracked it will just be coming from a generator in lieu of a power line. I am concerned on that issue as they will not have a typical power bill to track the electricity used but should be able to monitor the meter in some other way. This would then also satisfy EAc5 Option 3. To me these are the same thing. MPR 2 is a question as well as is the project considered a Complete, Permanent Building without permanent power?
