Estidama tool
Worked in the order the credit is actually assembled. Enter the annual consumption of each end-use from your RE-R1 energy model, and the tool returns the metered share per fuel and the loads to meter next.
Completion
How much of the schedule is assembled. It tracks your working file — it is not a statement that the credit is achieved, which only the reviewing authority can make.

🧪 Loaded with an example
The figures below are illustrative, so you can see what the tool returns before entering your own. They are not typical values and not a recommendation — replace them with your project’s numbers.
↳ This example is set up to FAIL the 90% test on electricity, so you can see the shortfall and the largest-load-first list the standard prescribes. The plant schedule also includes one board below its threshold, so you can see the screen discriminate rather than flag everything.
Building type sets the tenant-area obligations.
Landlord areas: meter all end-uses. Each tenant area must also be sub-metered for each end-use.
From the RE-R1 energy model, per fuel.
Model this schedule was built from
Printed on the schedule so the figures are traceable to one model run. When the model is revised, this is what tells you the schedule is stale.
The 90% test applies to each fuel separately — they never share a denominator, because a combined figure hides a failing fuel behind a passing one.
| End-use | Estimated kWh/yr | Metered? |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling | ||
| Dehumidification | ||
| Service water heating | ||
| Motor control centres (fans) | ||
| Motor control centres (pumps) | ||
| Lighting | ||
| Receptacle and process loads | ||
| Other major plant (pools, kitchens, server rooms, lifts and escalators) |
Optional. Entering it lets the tool catch a transcription slip in the rows above.
Sum of rows: 2,560,000 kWh/yr
Input checks
These check the TRANSCRIPTION, not the model. PBRS sets none of them — they are our own heuristics for the mistakes that actually reach review.
✓ No transcription issue detected in the entered rows.
Sub-meters enabling a minimum of 90% of the estimated annual energy consumption of EACH fuel type to be monitored, plus a separate meter on plant above the loads in step 3. It is a requirement — no credit points are awarded, and no Pearl level is reachable without it.
This tool cannot verify its own inputs. The kWh/yr breakdown must come from the RE-R1 energy model — a connected-load estimate is not a substitute and will not survive review.
Screened against the published loads, independently of the 90% figure.
Requires a separate meter
Any plant exceeding the stated load requires a separate meter — in addition to the 90% coverage requirement, not instead of it.
⚡ All on-site energy generating systems must be separately metered and their annual energy generation recorded.
Where the building is split into landlord and tenant areas, all metering requirements must also be documented in the tenant guidelines under IDP-R2 Tenant Fit-Out Design & Construction Guide.
The manual prints an end-use matrix with per-column ticks for office, retail and multi-residential tenant areas. Check it on page 145 for your building type — this tool states the governing rules but does not reproduce the table.
Metering requirements by building type. The printed matrix in the manual details the columns — check it visually on page 145 for your building type.
All sub-meters must have data logging capability and be connected to a central monitoring system with, at a minimum:
Central monitoring system capabilities. All sub-meters must have data logging capability and be connected to that system.
