Methodology
GENERAL
Demonstrate that easily accessible and clearly labelled energy sub-meters are provided
which enable a minimum of 90% of the estimated annual energy consumption of each
fuel type (electricity, gas etc) to be monitored as outlined within the Calculations and
Methodologies section.
In addition separate meters must be provided for all plant exceeding the sizes in the
table below:
Plant Description Load kW
Cooling installations comprising one or more units
feeding a common distribution circuit
Motor control centres providing power to HVAC
equipment
10
Final electrical distribution boards (power/lighting) 10
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT/CLARIFICATIONS
� Demonstrate that easily accessible and clearly labelled energy sub-meters are
provided and capable of monitoring the energy consumption of all tenant areas (as
outlined within the Calculations and Methodology section), and all metering
requirements are documented within the tenant guidelines as part of IDP-R2 Tenant
Fit-Out Design & Construction Guide.
This is a requirement. There are no Credit Points awarded.
� Brief narrative describing how the requirements of the credit will be achieved;
� Energy system schematics illustrating the proposed metering strategy confirming
that the required level of metering will be achieved; and
� Extracts from specifications and building services layout design drawings clearly
indicating the type, extent and locations of all metering, and the central
monitoring system.
� Updated brief narrative describing how the requirements of the credit have been
achieved;
� Energy system schematics illustrating the metering strategy confirming that the
required level of metering has been achieved;
� Manufacturer’s data and as-built building services layout drawings clearly indicating
the type, extent and locations of all metering, and central monitoring system;
� Photographic evidence confirming installation of specified meters and central
monitoring system; and
� Written commitment from the owner to submit all energy monitoring data to
Estidama (if requested).
� Based on the energy consumption of individual major end-uses (as outlined in the
table below), develop a metering strategy that accounts for 90% of the total building
