We have a project that will not provide submetters for future tenants however the BMS system will be ready for future tenants to provide their own submetter in order to measure electricity consumption.
Will this fulfill the credit requirements? Or do we need to provide some sort of "leasing agreement" that will make future tenants to provide for submeters?

Just having the building submeter ready would not be enough. If you can demonstrate that tenants would be required to install the meters then that would likely work.

So, in order to comply with the credit requirements, the LEED-CS building will need to require future tenants by a leasing agreement to have their provide their own sub meters.
Am I understanding this right?

That would work or the building owner could provide them.

Thank you Marcus,
In our case the owner will not provide for them so we would suggest him to include this on the leasing agreement in order to achieve the credit requirements.
Thanks!!
