Data Center Might be Removed (cannot get a commitment) - Issues

One of 4 fairly identical buildings has a Data Center in 1/3 of it. It is not separately metered - problem for Energy Star, as the Data must be separately metered from the rest of that building - right? is there a way around this requirement? Reason being is the State of CA is considering removing the Data Center in a few months but won't commit either way -they just want the 4 buildings LEED EBOM by 2013. I cannot get an Energy Star score without a meter so do I tell the owner to put one in, in the hopes they keep the Data Center or not register at all until the State decides what to do? As the parking lot, open space, etc. are part of the common shared space, the rest of the buildings will have to wait until I put a meter in and wait another 12 months – right? At that time, I won't need it metered separately, so putting in a "data meter" will be a waste of time and money - right? FYI - without a meter and inputting projections, the ES score is a "100". If I register it as an office as it probably will be one, ES is a "1". Basically, the change in status will not be known and I don't want to waste money on a meter. Thanks! Thanks for your help!
