Energy conservation measures and efficiency projects are tracked within Energy Solutions 360 and measured and verified according to IPMVP and ASHRAE Guideline 14-2014. Designed by an AEE accredited Certified Measurement and Verification Professional (CMVP), our M&V module processes both IPMVP Option B and C analysis, depending on the data fed to the module. 

Option B utilizes sub-metering or equipment level metering for retrofit isolation, such as lighting system and HVAC upgrades, while Option C utilizes invoice or whole building interval data, combined with cost data from the utility invoice. Data is regressed against weather and occupancy variables and then consumption/demand is projected to report what usage would have been in the absence of the efficiency project. Current period avoided costs are projected based on the forecasted consumption/demand and the marginal unit cost in the current billing period. The savings (efficiency measures and avoided energy consumption) are the difference between what was projected and the actual metered consumption. Relevant statistics necessary for compliance with ASHRAE Guideline 14-2014, such as model CV(RMSE), are also provided by our platform.
