About this file
This is a utility metering design standards document for the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) that establishes requirements for all utility metering infrastructure across campus facilities. The document outlines comprehensive specifications for electric, water, steam, natural gas, and thermal energy meters that must be integrated into the campus Building Automation System (BAS) and Central Control and Monitoring System (CCMS). All utilities serving buildings must be metered and connected to the UMD CCMS, with meters supplied by contractors unless otherwise specified. The specifications mandate remote metering for electric, water (domestic, condensate, and hot water), energy (BTU), and steam utilities, along with sub-metering requirements for exterior lighting loads and all electric vehicle chargers to support building Energy Use Intensity (EUI) calculations. All meter installations must comply with respective utility provider standards (Washington Gas Light, Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, and Pepco Holdings Inc.) and coordinate with UMCP Facilities Management and the Department of Engineering and Energy.
The document provides detailed product specifications and approved vendors for four primary meter categories: electric meters from manufacturers including Electro Industries, GE, Schneider Electric, Accuenergy, and Eaton; thermal meters for chilled water, hot water, and condensate from Onicon, Badger, and Yokogawa; steam meters from Yokogawa, Moore Industries, and ABB; and flow computers from Onicon and Kessler-Ellis Products. All meters must communicate via ModBus RTU or BACnet MSTP over RS485 connections with campus customers including UMD Engineering & Energy and UMD CCMS. Meter displays must be mounted between 2-5 feet above finished floor or remotely at 5 feet and remain walk-up accessible to university staff. Specific installation guidelines address magnetic meter probe placement, upstream and downstream pipe clearances, and ambient condition requirements. No substitutions are permitted without express written consent from the university and approval from the Department of Engineering and Energy and CCMS groups.

Description:
The purpose of the section is to highlight the current applicable UMCP Design Standards for all utility metering.
Related Sections:
● 25.13.00 Central Control and Monitoring System
Effective Date:
TBD
Applicable Standards:
● TBD
General Requirements:
1. Summary:
● All utilities serving a building shall be metered.
● Connect all new meters to UMD CCMS – Refer to 25.13.00 Metering Section.
● All utility meters will be supplied by the contractor unless otherwise specified. All revenue meters must be installed in accordance with the utilities (Washington Gas Light (WGL), Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) or Pepco Holdings Inc. (PHI), etc. standard procedures and must be coordinated with the UMCP Facilities Management and the Department of Engineering and Energy.
• Submit permit application for a WSSC Deduct Meters on Irrigation and cooling tower make up systems.
● Temporary utility meters are required during construction and shall be included in the specifications.
Coordinate with E&E Energy Manager and Meter shop to confirm construction meters are installed and billed properly.
● Electric, water (domestic, condensate, hot water, etc.), energy (BTU), steam utilities shall be remotely metered.
● All sub-metering opportunities will be identified, such as building lighting, data centers, large specific equipment or laboratory loads. When sub-metering is appropriate, the specified meter and installation shall be inspected and certified by the appropriate governing agency.
• Submetering is required on exterior lighting loads to support building EUI calculations.
• Submetering is required on ALL Electric Vehicle chargers to support both EUI calculations and electrical billing.
● Steam condensate shall exit to a steam condensate return system. Cooling tower condensate shall exit to a sanitary sewer.
● All service conductors entering a building shall be metered using the appropriate meter from the electric meter table listed below.
● Where building service provides power to computer systems requiring three phase, uninterruptible power supply, the electrical load shall have electrical power monitoring for on-line alarming and documentation.
● Service entry locations and critical load distribution locations shall be served in accordance with Tables: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
● The university relies on real time energy (meter) data for the daily operation of the UMCP campus electrical and mechanical systems. Energy data is compared with building occupancy and comfort levels and is a critical input to the Central Control and Monitoring System (CCMS) Building Automation System (BAS) for demand shedding. Energy data is also required by the Department of Engineering and Energy and the Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plant for demand monitoring, billing and trending of Campus Utilities.
Energy data from the meters is communicated via integration to the BAS. The energy meters are maintained by the campus meter shop and the campus CCMS group who provide the campus customers one source for all meter data. This section outlines the requirements for furnishing of equipment and installation of electric, energy (BTU), steam, flow computers, domestic water and natural gas meters.
2. Product Data
● Include detailed manufacturer’s specifications for each component specified. Include data sheets reflecting the model numbers, features, ratings, performance, power requirements and dimensions. The information provided shall be in sufficient detail to confirm compliance with requirements outlined in this specification.
No substitutions can be made without the express written consent of the university and review and approval of the Department of Engineering and Energy and CCMS. The vendor will submit the final points list for each meter and display format for each point (KWH, Tons, BTUs, etc.) for approval by the campus meter shop under the Energy Performance group.
● All meter installations interconnected to the campus BAS receive prior approval from the campus customers listed in the Tables below.
3. Installation & Design Guidelines
● Each building shall be integrated into the campus BAS. Refer to section Metering Section in 25.13.00 for more detailed information on integration.
● The BAS vendor shall reserve adequate virtual points in the BAS to be able to read and display a minimum of 40 data points from each flow computer and meter. All local meter displays shall be mounted 2-5’ A.F.F.
or a remote display shall be installed at 5’-0” A.F.F. Local meter display or remote display shall be walk up accessible by University staff.
● Meter Units shall be as follows: Electric – KWH, Steam – Total LBS., Chilled Water - TonHours, Water – TotalGallons, Heating Hot Water – kBTU Hr, Natural Gas -CCF (Centum Cubic Feet or 100 cubic feet = 1.039 Therms)
● Magnetic Meters - Probes are susceptible to air bubble in pipe and debris. Probe shall not be at the top (12-0-Clock) or bottom of pipe (6-O-Clock). Upstream and downstream clearances shall be maintained. The minimum upstream straight pipe (no taps, wells, valves, obstructions is 3 diameters. The minimum downstream straight pipe is 2 diameters. Conditions requiring MORE diameters of straight pipe as noted by the manufacture shall take precedence over these minimums.
● Ambient conditions. Refer to manufactures install. Meter shall be installed in a location where heat generating systems, corrosive environments, or areas subject to vibration or shocks.
● The tables below provide the approved meters, vendors and their required features and/or components for the successful integration. All components and features are required for the vendor to deliver a product that provides turnkey integration to the campus BAS system interface. The campus CHP plant accepts only one steam meter. The final selection and sizing of the steam meter should be coordinated with the Department of Engineering and Energy .
