Building Energy Metering - Third Party Source

Can you point me to where the concept of third party sources is referenced? If so I will attempt to answer the question.

I have a similar question - I am curious about what types of building level energy meter options are out there? I am also seeking LEE V4 certification for a Core and Shell project and our team is curious about other options besides a BAS system. Thank you.

At the whole building level the ones from the local utility are best and the easiest way to earn this prerequisite. So you need a meter for each major fuel type and a means to record the data. The BAS systems typically just interface with the meters to make recording and reading easier. You can do that with datalogger equipment too. On the electrical side there are meters that can be built into electrical panel boxes. These meters need to be permanently installed. So select the metering equipment that does the job at the lowest price.

Thank you. So then you just need meters on all building level energy consumption, but not ONE total aggregating meter that compiles all of these meters into one place? There are existing utility meters, we were just curious if we needed to buy an additional meter that aggregated all meters to one.

No aggregation needed. You just need a building level meter for each fuel used.
