M&V credit energy model calibration

MKK, With eliminating the M&V credit, V4 is moving toward Monitoring-based Commissioning (EAc1, Option 1, Path 2) and Advanced Energy Metering (EAc3) as a means to monitor and verify energy performance during building occupancy. ​Neither of these credits, nor the Fundamental Commissioning and Verification prerequisite (EAp1) will require a calibrated energy model.

Paul is correct, M&V as it was known in v2009 no long exists, but in its place are a series of three credits that provide the foundation for robust measurement and tracking of energy use. Involving the CxA in design of the on-going monitoring systems is a great step, as during the process they see the kinds of trends that are needed to ensure proper operation of the systems. I always called these key parameters, and worked with the owners and integrators to make sure if these parameters were changed, over-ridden, or went outside certain bounds, that some notification went to the management for investigation.
