water conservation, improve waste management, and

Residential Buildings
Monitoring Period
For an existing building to be eligible for a Mostadam O+E rating, its performance
must be monitored
over a minimum period of one year at a minimum occupancy of 75%. The following
parameters, which
link to Keystone credits, are required to be checked and recorded each month
during the performance
Monitoring Period:
• Energy consumption
• Water consumption
• Waste generation
During the first six months of the Monitoring Period, procedures and policies must
be developed for
certain keystone credits and optional credits as listed in Table 3. The procedures
and policies must then
be implemented for a minimum of six months and evidence of their
implementation provided as part of
the submission. If a building is undergoing renovation, refurbishment and/or
extension works, this must
be completed before the start of the Monitoring Period. The contents of a typical
