# Applies to
All multi-residential and non-residential development.
# Objective
To provide building users with information that allows monitoring of energy and water.
# Summary
Points are awarded where it is demonstrated that utility sub-meters will be provided to all major common area services. Using the building plans, identify and list all anticipated major common area water and energy uses. Use this information to develop an appropriate sub-metering strategy. Ensure that meters are located in areas which are easy to access to facilitate regular monitoring. For example, plant rooms, main distribution room or control room etc.
# Documentation & evidence required
- A commitment to metering energy and water based on an analysis of the anticipated major common area uses.
# Other Considerations
Applicants are encouraged to consider additional strategies such as the inclusion of an building management system to give users detailed information about the energy and water use across the development.
