CS-2009 EAc5.2:Measurement and Verification—Tenant Submetering

Tenant submetering

The developer's CS project consists of two large leasable spaces. One wing to be used for a department store, the other one to be used as furnished apartments. There are basically only two tenants in the building: The operator running the department store and the operator running the furnished apartments. The furnished apartments are not submetered individually. Does EA 5.2 require just two submeters in this case and will still earn the 3 points? or should the developer force the apartments to be individually metered - knowing that the occupants of the apartments are not really 'tenants' vis a vis the developer...

This could be grey area. Technically the operator of the apartments is not the tenant in my view. The occupants are the tenants as they occupy the spaces. So even though there is an operator in between them and the developer I think that the individual apartments would need to be sub-metered. This might be worthy of submitting a LEED Interpretation however.
