Tip sheet
Set up the BMS to provide monthly reports as required by the M&V plan, if applicable.
The facilities manager or M&V provider compares baseline energy use of the ECMs to post-construction energy use.
Track and archive trending data with utility metering and energy submetering systems required by the M&V plan.
Ensure that appropriate personnel are trained to optimize the system to its greatest potential.
The M&V plan should be implemented for at least the first year of building operations.
Meters and submeters should be recalibrated periodically according to manufacturers’ recommendations.
Verify that the whole-building simulation model matches the as-built design.
Install and commission the M&V submetering devices, or BMS, to verify functional accuracy.
Run a final energy model that reflects all of the as-designed, energy-efficiency measures.
Determine the baseline energy use for ECMs.
