Inquiry

For projects that share air handling units with spaces outside of the project boundary (shared VAV systems or shared Dedicated Outside Air Systems), the credit is not cost-effective using monitoring. This leaves prorating of the energy costs for these shared systems as the only option for achieving any points under this credit. Can energy monitoring and payment of energy costs for shared Dedicated outside air systems be excluded from credit compliance? Can energy monitoring and payment of energy costs for shared VAV air handling units be excluded from the requirements for credit compliance? If not, are there any other alternatives besides prorating shared energy costs for central systems for achieving credit compliance?
