Hi we have a LEED CI project that is served by an emergency back-up generator that serves multiple floors. Is it really a requirement to meter emergency back-up generator fuel? If so would it also require power metering to measure proportion of power from our level? Seems like overkill and not the intent of the credit. Surely records of the fuel consumption of the generator should be ok.

I think emergency generator fuel does not even need to be included assuming the generator is just tested periodically and run in emergency situations only. Not sure if this is written anywhere.
