As the LEED Reference Guide states, the accuracy and cost of an M&V program is influenced by:

• The level of detail and effort associated with verifying post-construction conditions
• The number and type of metering points
• The duration and accuracy of metering activities
• The number and complexity of dependent and independent variables that must be measured or determined on an ongoing basis
• The availability of existing data collection systems (e.g., energy management systems)
• The confidence and precision levels for the analyses.
