Hello All,
Does anyone has a sample plan or any M & V plan which he/she can share with us here? I understand from the intent what the plan should include but also just want to see how the plan should look like in a written form. Thanks.

CS-2009 EAc5.2: Measurement and Verification—Tenant Submetering
Hello All,
Does anyone has a sample plan or any M & V plan which he/she can share with us here? I understand from the intent what the plan should include but also just want to see how the plan should look like in a written form. Thanks.

I don't have a sample to share but want to make sure you do not use just any M&V Plan for this credit. The Plan you develop for this credit is very different from the M&V Plan you develop for EAc5.1. There are many examples of M&V Plans for EAc5.1 that you can get online. Not sure about sample Plans for this credit however.

Thanks Marcus. Yeah I am aware that M & V for EAc5.1 is entirely different from M & V of EAc5.2. As you said there are a lot of plans available online for EAc5.1 but not for EAc5.2. That's why I am asking the members if someone has a plan he/she can share which will be useful to check.

Just making sure, this is commonly confused in LEED submissions.
The key elements of the Plan for this credit are as follows:
- a thorough description of the metering infrastructure
- information on the central monitoring and expansion/reconfiguration features
- If the submeters will be installed by the building owner indicate that in the description of the system.
- If the submeters will be installed by the tenant provide detailed guidelines and meter specifications for connecting to the system.
- Clear guidelines for tenants to earn the M&V credit in LEED 2009 for Commercial Interiors.
- A corrective action strategy.
As long as the Plan addresses these key issues you should be fine.

Dear Marcus,
Thank you again for elaboration on this credit. I have read that the plan should actually include all what you said above but I want to see any sample for any project to have more idea on the details of each point. I feel it will help me a lot in making a plan for our project as the client is providing electricity meters to tenants which will be connected to BMS. Again, I would ask people here if someone can share a plan of his/her work.
