Webinars: M&V for Demand Response

Webinar Series: Managing the Impacts of Covid-19 in Meter-Based M&V

Webinar: Protocols for Advanced M&V

image68

Demand response (DR) is becoming a key grid resource, and targeted demand response efforts may be part of a 'wires alternative' for system reliability.   M&V for Demand Response Applications webinars by Facility Energy Solutions covered Recent webinars include:

  • NW SEM M&V Spring Meeting, April 2020
  • EVO Master's Class, January 2020

Measurement and verification (M&V) methods for DR are prescribed by FERC and adopted by utilities are very different than IPMVP's methods.

  • California's  Industrial Agricultural Custom Program Evaluation from 2018 was a great peak under the hood on California's portfolio of custom projects! Lots of innovative projects were implemented. Always a bit shocking to see the net results  - 
  • 44% realization of the 178 MW nets 82 MW saved
  • 46% for natural gas nets 17,000 kTherms saved.

BCA's Commissioning Lab

BCA's Commissioning Lab. An excellent five days of hands-on building commissioning activities at Sacramento City College (SCC) was held in January 2019.  Sponsored by the Building Commissioning Association (BCA) and attended by 13 professional Cx providers, new and existing building commissioning activities included design review of chilled and hot water heating plants, used state-of-the-art field-measurement tools, assessed control sequences, estimated end-to-end sensor error, and functional tested air-side and heating equipment. 


At the end of the week, the commissioning teams had identified over 50 deficiencies at the site. The course was led by Lia Webster (Facility Energy Solutions), hosted by Jon Zeh (SCC), and supported by Saverio Grosso (Edison Energy) and Ryan Stroupe (PG&E).

SPAWAR Data Center Evaluation

Energy and sustainability assessments of critical data center and laboratory spaces at four Naval bases  included over 40 buildings . The assessment provided preliminary  energy savings recommendations for over 100 critical areas. Energy savings of over 2.5 GWh were calculated for over 350 upgrades to mechanical systems, UPS, lighting, and controls (2019).
