We are currently working on a Core & Shell project where a single tenant will be occupying the entire building. That tenant is also going for LEED under Commercial Interiors. Their lease is structured so the tenant will pay for the entire building energy and water use. The C&S owner will not receive any of the bills. We would like to claim an exemption for Minimum Program Requirement 6: Whole Building Energy and Water Usage Data based on the fact that all of this information will be submitted by the tenant under their CI certification. Has anyone had any experience on this type of approach?

Greetings Courtney, Did you ever receive offline feedback or pursue the submittal as such? I have a current project under similar circumstances. It is a single tenant retail LEED-CS building where the building utilities will be paid directly by tenant. Landlord's utilities will only consist of parking lot lighting and miscellaneous fountains tied to larger/existing parking lot electrical meter. It seems inappropriate/unreasonable for the landlord to contractually require post-occupancy utility reporting by the tenant. Does anyone have experience with this?

Just following up on this- has anyone dealt with this situation? Would a tenant being directly metered by the utility need to be contractually obliged to release their private utility data in order for the shell building to comply with MPR6 under LEED-CS?
