NC-2009 EAc5: Measurement and Verification
For credit, is it necessary to make calculations within the plan, regarding the baseline calculation, the reporting period? Or is it just describing the elements to do the calculations? How is it done in the case of option D?

Is the gas consumption of stoves, ovens, etc. required under this point?
When should a project consider Option B instead of Option D?
Is there a requirement to model baseline energy use as being 25% process loads?
Does this credit specify how energy use should be measured?

Yes the Plan must address the baseline and the reporting period. You must also describe how you will calculate savings. Option D is a calibrated energy model. So you must calibrate the energy model to match the actual utility bills. This should be done for each energy end use to ensure the model is accurately calibrated. Once you have the model calibrated you then adjust the baseline to ensure it has the same schedules, etc. as required. Then the savings are determined but subtracting the calibrated baseline from the calibrated proposed model.
