Determine whether attempting EAc5.1, EAc5.2, or both is best for your project. Achieving both will earn your project a total of six points. You can attempt one or both—neither is dependent on the other.

EAc5.1: Measurement and Verification—Base Building – Develop an M&V program that measures the energy uses of the base building (as distinct from tenant spaces). If your project does not have any electrical equipment, it is ineligible for this credit.
EAc5.2: Measurement and Verification—Tenant Submetering – You will only need to write an M&V plan for tenants to use and set up infrastructure, but don’t actually have to do any measurements—which is a good idea if your project will have LEED-CI tenants or if tenants plan to make energy improvements.
