Would an auto service/repair business count as a basic service? What about a place that sells landscaping materials? Insurance Brokers? Skatepark? Thanks!

Process load significantly lower than 25%

The overall process load of our project turns out to be in the vicinity of 15% only. We are aware that 15% is absurdly low and unusual for plants.

Submeters to measure AND RECORD energy use

CI-2009 EAc3:Measurement and Verification
posted by  Michael Smithing  on 

In our project the tenant pays a lump sum for thermal energy use, but pays for electricity based on actual consumption. We therefore cannot achieve the 3 points.
