Rashid, the LEED requirements for WEc1 specifically define sub-metering at the system-level, not at the space level, so a sub-meter that captures water consumption in your canteen, for instance, would not help you earn this credit, The qualifying types of sub-metering for this credit are: irrigation, indoor plumbing fixtures/fittings, cooling tower water, domestic hot water, or process water use. You would need to demonstrate, for one or more of these sub-systems, that you are capturing at least 80% of the total water consumption on the entire project site for that sub-system.
