Our current design has a Quadlogic multi-tenant smart meter unit in the basement of our mid-rise project. This unit has the capacity for electrical power as well as BTU monitoring. My question is will this qualify for EAc 5.2 M&V without physically placing meters at the floors above? This will give us flexibility to monitor the tenants without wasting meters where they are not needed. For instance, a tenant that has three floors doesn't necessarily need three meters. And, some floors may need multiple meters for multiple tenants. Thanks for your help.

Makes sense to me. You need a tenant M&V Plan so it sounds like this flexibility is part of the plan. You just need to demonstrate that the system you have is capable of sub-metering tenant spaces.

My pleasure. Just noticed that the subject of your post is EAc5.1 and this is the page for EAC5.1 but your questions was related to EAc5.2. There is often considerable confusion in submitting the plans for these two credits and I don't want to add to it. An M&V Plan according to the IPMVP is very different from a tenant sub-metering plan. Just making sue your question was related to tenant sub-metering and not IPMVP.
