CS-2009 EAc5.1:Measurement and Verification—Base Building

EA Credit 5.1: Base Building Sub-metering

Hello all, I am working on a large Core and Sheel project composed of office spaces and commercial centre (in France). The comercial centre is 5 stories high and occupied by one single tenant. The goal is to limit the number of sub-meters installed in the commercial centre. The building has the following as energy supply: 1) District Heating System for Space Heating & Domestic Hot Water 2) District Cooling System for Air conditioning cooling 3) Electricity for external lighting, Cooling Electronic Fan coils, Cold storage plant, Fans / Ventilation (major), Lighting, Small Power, Outlets, elevators, escalators etc.... Can you confirm that we only need to meter the following three energy supplies for the credit EAct 5.1? 1) District Heating System for Space Heating & Domestic Hot Water 2) District Cooling System for Air conditioning cooling 3) Electricity - External lighting For met it doesn't seem that difficult. Thank-you, Ian

No meters at all are required by the IPMVP. You need to be able to gather the data needed to calibrate the energy model by energy end use on a monthly basis. This usually requires some level of electrical submetering or gathering other data you can use to derive energy use by end use. You can gather much of that information by hand too. The question is - does the owner want to pay for hardware or labor?
