CS-2009 EAc5.2:Measurement and Verification—Tenant Submetering

Process for corrective action

Hello, One of the requirements of EA Credit 5.2 is to "provide a process for corrective action if the results of the M&V plan indicate that energy savings are not being achieved". This is very confusing given that thermal modeling is not done on a tenant area per tenant area basis but on a whole building level. Therefore, how is the tenant supposed to know if he/she is meeting the anticipated savings ? Are we supposed to take the average consumption per ft.sq (given my the thermal modeling) and multiply it by the tenanted area ? Thanks for the help,

The language regarding corrective action is indeed puzzling and I believe that it was included in error, although I have no direct way to verify this. I concur that in this context there is no way to monitor performance and implement corrective action. Credit 5.2 is simply about providing metering capability and advising tenants of the opportunity. At no point are "savings" or performance projected.
