FAQ F-00069
Can energy metering of distinct uses be based off electricity demand rather than energy?

Yes. In regards to energy meters for 6.0.1 Metering Distinct Uses or Floors, the GBCA approves the criteria to be amended to "where the electrical load for a single item exceeds 5% of the total electricity (power) demand for the project, or 100kW, it must be individually metered". 

This is based on the understanding that the overarching metering strategy for Green Star is to ensure that all significant loads are individually metered.
