Energyplus Custom Meter for HVAC System

Hi folks,

I am looking for a solution for assigning different HVAC systems to different meters.

This is for LEED utility cost calculation. A typical multifamily building uses a master meter for all common utility consumption, includes lighting, plug load, and HVAC, and all other residential units use individual meters. I understand that we are able to create a custom meter to account zone energy consumption, includes lighting and plug loads. My question is how can I assign the HVAC to the right meter in the idf file.
