About this file
This is a GSA Template L100 lease exhibit addressing net utility costs for federal real property leases, effective February 2026.
The exhibit establishes utility payment responsibilities and building system requirements when the Government pays separately for utilities. The Government assumes direct payment responsibility for electricity, gas, and water consumption from the water fill station to utility providers, while the Lessor covers all other utilities, maintenance, repairs, and building operations. The Lessor must install separate meters for Government-paid utilities as part of shell rent; sub-meters are prohibited, and proration is not permissible. Prior to occupancy, the Lessor must provide written meter identification and verification that meters measure only Government usage. Electrical control requirements limit office space controlled by a single switch or automatic control system to no more than 500 square feet when the Government pays separately for electricity. HVAC systems must include automatic air or water economizer cycles on all air handling equipment and a fully functional building automation system with control, regulation, and monitoring capabilities supported by a service and maintenance contract. When utilities are excluded from rental consideration, the Lessor must obtain a registered professional engineer's statement confirming that all HVAC, plumbing, and energy-intensive building systems can operate under the lease control conditions and identifying any systems that do not conform to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.1 performance values. The building operating plan must be effective at lease commencement and include startup and shutdown schedules for all building systems including lighting, HVAC, and plumbing.
