Unfortunately, no. The rating system language explicitly states that in order to meet he requirements of Option 2, the project building must first meet the requirements of Option 1. Also remember, if you want to install a whole-building water meter at the project building, do it before the beginning of the performance period.
Question
We can't get weekly readings from the main building water meter. However we can take daily readings from a water subsystem (e.g. irrigation or cooling tower makeup). Can we pursue Option 2 (water subsystem metering) without pursing Option 1 (whole building water metering)?
