LEED v4

Metering for sustainability and LEED credits

Achieve your LEED Certification

We are experienced in designing, delivering and deploying metering systems. This ensures each piece of the project hardware and software is compatible with LEED certification guidelines.

We’ll provide you with everything you need, including design specifications, budgeting, project management, integration and software reporting.

QMC'S turnkey system

QMC’s experience with LEED includes projects with leading building owners across Canada. Our team can develop a turnkey LEED Metering System that includes:

QMC simplifies the process of LEED submetering solutions.

LEED v4 Compatibility

With the introduction of LEED v4, metering systems are becoming increasingly important to earning LEED credits. QMC is working with its consulting partners and clients to design and deploy metering systems that score all of the direct metering credits and complement systems for other water and energy credits.

There are 2 direct prerequisites and 2-8 credits for LEED v4 BD+C and Operations & Maintenance that require QMC metering systems.

Water Efficiency:
Prerequisite – Building Level Water Metering: QMC will integrate the main utility water meter or supply a redundant meter to allow for automated data collection. We’ll also provide software for continuous operational monitoring and for producing reports to the CAGBC/USGBC

Credit – Water Metering (1 point BD+C, 2 points O&M): QMC will supply, automate and report on large water loads, including:
• Irrigation
• Indoor plumbing fixtures
• Reclaimed water
• And more!

Energy and Atmosphere:
Prerequisite – Building Level Energy Metering: QMC will integrate the main utility electricity, gas, thermal, and/or steam meters or supply redundant meters to allow for automated data collection.

Credit – Advanced Energy Metering (1 point BD+C, 2 points O&M): QMC will supply, automate, and report on large electrical, thermal and/or gas loads. If the project is Core and Shell, QMC will supply Measurement Canada-approved tenant metering

Credit – Enhanced Commissioning – Path 2 (4 points): QMC will provide the metering equipment and software reporting needed for continuous monitoring of key loads, to identify anomalies and variances in energy use

Innovation Credits:
Energy Awareness – QMC deploys or integrates with lobby sustainability dashboards. Meter data and dashboard software will show building energy use and sustainability features, allowing for education programs or challenges

Other LEED V4 Credits Benefitting from QMC Turnkey Metering Systems:
E&A – Demand Response – Integrated metering required for demand shedding activities

E&A – Renewable Energy Production
