FAQs about EAc5 :

How should we approach this credit for residential buildings where tenants are paying their own utilities?

Our project already includes a full direct digital control (DDC) system for HVAC. Does this satisfy the submetering requirements of this credit?

Is the gas consumption of stoves, ovens, etc. required under this point?

When should a project consider Option B instead of Option D?

Is there a requirement to model baseline energy use as being 25% process loads?

Does this credit specify how energy use should be measured?

What should the plan for corrective action contain?

Is there any reason that we couldn't develop an M&V plan post-construction, assuming we have the necessary controls in place?

You can develop a M&V Plan anytime prior to your construction submission for LEED. The controls relate only as your control system is set up to provide at least some of the data you will need to perform the M&V. At this point you are basically stuck with the currently installed data collection which was installed (unless you want to spend more money) so depending on the set up you may have to gather data the old-fashioned way through spot measurements and short-term trending meters.
