The time interval between measurement points is not established by the credit requirements. Consider short intervals between measurement points to ensure that any spikes in system use are analyzed and addressed immediately. The optimal measurement interval may depend on the system metered and the data storage capacity available.
No manual readings or temporary equipment are allowed. The submeter must electrically record readings on a ongoing basis. These readings should be relayed back to a personal computer or building automation system.

The LEED Online credit form has a built-in calculator, and it is cumbersome for LEED review teams to ensure that a project-supplied spreadsheet is calculating all purchases exactly the way the LEED Online credit form does.
Quality control can include, among other strategies:
regular inspection of dumpster contents to identify inappropriate disposal practices
using signage or other communications to alert personnel to proper disposal techniques and remind them to follow these procedures throughout construction.
