This is a GSA lease template exhibit for properties where the government pays utilities separately from base rent (net of utilities lease). The exhibit establishes standards for separate metering, utility controls, and building system performance when the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) leases space of 18,884 to 20,000 rentable square feet.

Key requirements include: the lessor must install separate meters for any utilities (electric and/or gas) excluded from rent, with sub-meters prohibited and proration not permitted; the lessor must provide written verification of meter numbers prior to occupancy confirming meters measure only government usage; for office space on government meters, no more than 500 square feet may be controlled by a single switch or automatic light control system; for non-fully serviced space exceeding 10,000 rentable square feet where the government is the sole or predominant tenant, the lessor must provide automatic air or water economizer cycles on all air handling equipment and maintain a fully functional building automation system with service and maintenance contract; the lessor must obtain a registered professional engineer statement confirming HVAC, plumbing, and energy-intensive building systems comply with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.1 or applicable state/local codes; and a building operating plan detailing startup/shutdown schedules for lighting, HVAC, and plumbing systems must be in effect by lease commencement. This exhibit was updated in February 2026 and is incorporated into GSA Template L100 for net utilities leases.
