REDIT REQUIREMENT
a) Energy auditing
1 credit for conducting Category 3 energy audit (EMSD’s guidelines on
Energy Audit) with evidence
1 BONUS credit for conducting carbon audit or GHG emission audit and
demonstrating that an action plan of GHG reduction is in progress.
b) Monitoring and targets
1 credit for an effective energy monitoring and targeting system.
c) Energy Management Plan
1 credit for demonstrating an approved budget to improve the energy
performance of the building with management plan.
d) Energy management manual
1 credit for maintaining a comprehensive energy management manual.
e) Energy charge
1 BONUS credit where separate charges are made for energy use.
A
SSESSMENT
a) Energy auditing
The Client shall provide a report prepared by a suitably qualified person,
confirming that a category 3 energy audit has been completed essentially
in accordance with EMSD’s guidelines on Energy Audit. The audit result
should include breakdown of energy use by departments/units, individual
major services systems and equipment. The audit should embrace,
where possible, energy consumption by tenants. The evidence shall
include energy consumption records, operation, maintenance records
and show that an action plan based on findings is in place and in good
progress to achieve target, etc.
Where the report shows evidence of auditing practices appropriate to the
size and complexity of the development, the credit shall be awarded.
Where a carbon audit or GHG emission audit and as action plan of GHG
reduction that is in progress is demonstrated, the BONUS credit shall be
awarded.
b) Monitoring and targets
The submitted audit report should verify where actions to improve energy
efficiency or reduce energy consumption have been identified, those that
have been completed, and those that are in progress. The report should
include recommendations on measures to reduce consumption with
costs, savings and payback periods, and comparison with any available
benchmarks (targets) for efficient operation. The subsequent energy
monitoring and analysis should provide detailed energy use data for
facilitating the energy performance assessment as specified in others
sections of this document.
Where the Client can demonstrate that appropriate monitoring, record
