Hi, I'm working on a project that has many storage modules that will be occupied by tenants. We do not know how many modules each tenant will occupy therefore does not make sense we install meters on each module, because if a tenant occupying 3 modules, it will have 3 energy bills. Can i leave the infrastructure for installation of meters on each module, and indicate in lease agreement the installation of meters for each tenant? Another question is the following, it is mandatory that my measurement is connected to a BMS system, or can be manually? Can we reach EAc5.2, without having reached EAc5.1? Thank you!

EAc5.1 and EAc5.2 are not connected so yes you can earn one without earning the other. For EAc5.2 you need to install the infrastructure needed to meter the tenants in the future. You do not need to have the meters installed as part of this infrastructure prior to the tenants occupying the spaces. Your system must have the capacity to meter different tenant space configurations if they are not fixed. So the answer to your first question is yes. The credit language requires a central monitoring system. So it does not have to be the BMS but it can't be based on manual meter reads.
