FAQs about EAc2.1 :

What are the requirements for on-going Measurement and Verification (M&V)? How can our project meet this requirement without a BAS or sub-metering?

To what degree is it necessary to follow the ASHRAE "Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits" document? Is this provided as a general guide or must it be followed precisely, using the ASHRAE forms and completing the audit using the ASHRAE methodo

Who can perform the ASHRAE Level II audit? Can it be done by someone in-house?

My building is already very efficient and has an Energy Star score over 90. (Or, it's small and has passive systems.) How do I know if I’ve identified enough capital improvement measures? Is there a minimum requirement for improvement measures?

Shauna, given that BECx is something that USGBC is trying to incentivize in LEED BD&C, given that it's not required under this credit, and given the comprehensive effect if can have on energy and overall performance, I think there is potential here, but I could not say for sure. Have you tried initiating this yet, or received other feedback on whether it would fly?

Shauna - you might want to check out pg. 471 of the Reference Guide, which provides ideas for IO points that are more or less-preapproved. One is related to performing an infrared scan of the building to identify thermal breaches of the envelope.
