FAQs about EAc5 :

How should we approach this credit for residential buildings where tenants are paying their own utilities?

Our project already includes a full direct digital control (DDC) system for HVAC. Does this satisfy the submetering requirements of this credit?

Is the gas consumption of stoves, ovens, etc. required under this point?

When should a project consider Option B instead of Option D?

Is there a requirement to model baseline energy use as being 25% process loads?

Does this credit specify how energy use should be measured?

What should the plan for corrective action contain?

NC-2009 EAc5:Measurement and Verification

Confused by Third Party reporting tequirement of Option 3

I would love some insight on why, if going for Option 3, the whole-building water and energy usage data reporting MUST be done by a Third Party Data Source, vs. the actual Owner? What is gained by this, besides a consultant getting paid for something the owner/client could do on their own? Please help.

This does not mean you have to hire a consultant. The easiest way to do this and the way that enables you to earn a point for reporting the data is Option 1. The owner just agrees to enter the data in Portfolio Manager.
