CS-2009 EAc5.2:Measurement and Verification—Tenant Submetering

Centrally metering network

I'm working on a residential project that doesn't have a centrally monitored metering network. The only loads of the apartments are lighting and plug loads (no HVAC equipment). However, the energy consumption will be measured for each tenant independiently by the local utility company. So, I think the intent of the credit (keep tenants aware of their enery consumption so that they can make improvements) is being complied, isn't it? Thanks in advance.

How are the units heated and cooled?

The residential units are naturally ventilated. The only spaces that have mechanical equipment are two spaces (playing area for kids and one gym), these are for common use.

Sounds like just metering electricity qualifies.

Yes, just the electricity from lighting and plug loads will be measured for each tenant and there is no a centrally monitored metering network. Do you think it's enough to earn this credit?

Assuming there is a house meter too that covers the spaces outside the individual units, it sounds like it would comply.
