I think the building has 1200AMP total with many tenants at distribution panel (60s,100s,200s, and 400s AMP services) I was hired to split one of the existing 400AMP service to keep 400AMPs for 1st floor and add another 200AMP for 2nd floor. Currently the 2nd floor already has its own 100AMP panel and another 100AMP goes straight to rooftop unit. There are lots of tenants in the building and all 200AMP meter sockets are taken, however there are 3 empty 100AMP sockets left. Instead of going through lots and lots of work to add 200AMP service, I was thinking just dropping the existing 100AMP panel to one 100AMP meter socket (w/ breaker disconnect) and do the same for the rooftop unit. So basically this unit will have its own meter and the feeder will be tied up straight to the meter (also w/breaker disconnect at the meter socket). 2nd floor tenant will have two accounts with provider.

What do you think? I spoke with inspector briefly and he ok'ed it, but I just want to double check.
