Hello!
This may be a stupid question, but I am reviewing the requirements for EAc5.1 and came across Option 3. I don't really understand this, isn't this a requirement per the MPRs and aren't all 2009 projects required to do this anyways? Our project is a CS project with future tenant fit out spaces and residential spaces. In this case, does P1 form 1 require the project to submit energy and water data for just the common areas (not tenant or residential spaces) and/or the spaces the developer has control over OR does it require all tenant spaces to submit their usage as well? If its the latter, then there isn't anymore work to be done and we would automatically get EAc5.1, right? The credit form doesn't allow you to select two options so it doesn't seem you have to do Option 1 if doing Option 3. I think I am missing something and pretty confused how this work for a CS project. This is my first CS project and I seem to have tons of questions. Please help!
Thanks, Courtney

Short answer:
The MPR requires you to report the data, if you have it. (Buildings without meters are not required to report.) Portfolio Manager is one option, but not required.
Option 3 gives you one point for reporting the data via Portfolio Manager.

I had the same problem, but this document was a great help to understand the relationship between getting Exemplary Performance for EAc5.1 and complying with MPR6. The link is here: http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=8981
I hope it helps.
