How to Put Loads on Separate Meters in OpenStudio?

I would like to break out an OpenStudio 1.11 model into energy costs controlled by the building owner and those controlled by tenants. Is there a way I could put all lights, plug-loads, and HVAC equipment on either an owner or tenant electrical meter? These meters would then have a demand utility rate applied to them. I am guessing I should use the measure "AddMeter" for each zone multiple times, or something similar.

I would like to do this for the LEED 2009 Core and Shell EAp2-c1 Alternative Compliance Path: http://www.usgbc.org/resources/cs-2009-eap2-c1-acp
