Tenant metering

I would think that if you installed the infrastructure in the base building to enable the installation of the tenant space meters and required that the tenants install the meters themselves in the lease agreement that would meet the credit requirements. My only concern is that the credit language says "install" twice. Did you read the Reference Guide to see if your question is addressed there?

Anyone have any updates here?  Our infrastucture is set up such that tenants can install the meters themselves, but since credit language still says 'Install', it's not clear that this strategy meets LEED requirements.  

I don't see this issue addressed in the Reference Guide either. Here is an exerpt from the Reference Guide related to the metering of tenant spaces - "The number of meters required for tenant spaces depends on building configuration; a minimum of one meter per energy source per floor is required. All energy sources utilized by a tenant must have advanced metering, including electricity, natural gas, chilled water, and heating hot water (service hot water may be excluded). Advanced metering is not required to measure end-use consumption of systems and equipment installed by tenants." It does not make any sense to require that the tenant meters be installed in a Core and Shell project prior to submission so I would assume that is the case if I was submitting a project. It would be good practice to make sure that this issue is addressed in the tenant leasing guidelines.
