Oh, and calibration isn't identified in the "Action Steps" image either....

Hi John - yes, as stated in the credit requirements building-owned meters do need to be calibrated, but this is a pretty rare situation. Most all buildings perform the energy benchmarking by using data from utility-owned meters. Exceptions might be...hmm, maybe a campus situation with district systems? Most team's won't need to deal with this, hence it not being highlighted as a key action step.
If you do happen to be using data from building-owned meters in your benchmarking, in my opinion there is no reason to think you can exclude any of them from the calibration criteria.

Thanks Jenny,
I guess, like in other credits with lots of options, an action step could be useful to list if the team does have a building-owned meter. Provides a little reminder check that it was thought about and considered (even if it ends up that they don't have any bldg-owned ones). maybe?
If the data from the building-owned meter is excluded per the reasons stipulated in the Ref Guide (data center, etc), would it still require calibration?
