Discuss as a team the operational energy savings and benefits of implementing an M&V program for your project. Determine if M&V will contribute to your project’s energy reduction goals and system monitoring goals. Consider your project’s size and complexity, and whether you plan to run a whole-building energy model for EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance. Also think about how your building is likely to be operated. If an M&V program is not likely to be fully utilized, it may not be an appropriate investment.
