Energy – MBtu definition - KBCN1423

The abbreviation MBtu can have two differing definitions. For the purposes of BREEAM In-Use, the following will be used:

Full or Partial sub-metering - KBCN1203

Fully sub-metered
For an asset to be considered as fully sub-metered both heating and cooling consumption must be sub-metered for each tenant.
Partially sub-metered
For an asset to be partially sub-metered, the asset must have at least one tenant that has both heating and cooling consumption sub-metered. An area cannot be considered either fully or partially sub-metered where only one of heating or cooling is sub-metered.

Heating and cooling provided through one system - KBCN1204

Where heating and cooling is provided through the same system and it is not possible to separate the consumption related to each, then one sub-meter covering the system can be considered to be fully sub-metered.

Sub-metering requirements for a Single Tenant - KBCN1201

Where the asset has a single tenant, or where it is owner occupied, this space must have both heating and cooling sub-metered to achieve maximum credits.
