CS-v4 EAc3:Advanced energy metering

Base building Core vs. Tenant Metering

A large office building is being certified using LEED Core & Shell.

The project currently shows electrical meters on each floor that meter panels with circuits dedicated for both future tenant loads and the floor's core loads. Since the core is technically part of the base building, do these loads need to be metered separate from the future tenant circuits?

Additionally, there are AHUs on each floor serving tenant space with meters on chilled water. However, the AHUs serving the core spaces serve the core of multiple floors and would be difficult to meter for each floor level. Do they need to be metered separately?

Yes the core spaces should be metered separately from the tenant spaces. The do need to be metered separately but not necessarily on each floor. That is the iminmum requirement for the tenant spaces.
