M&V for Existing Building Commissioning (Cx) Projects
Published by the California Commissioning Collaborative, Guidelines for Verifying Savings from Commissioning Existing Buildings details engineering calculation methods and interval meter data analyses approaches to determining energy savings from existing building commissioning projects.
IPMVP M&V Guideline: Core Concepts
International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol is translated into nine languages, and used in at least as many countries. The IPMVP provides the basic approaches and terminology used to determine energy and other savings worldwide. The IPMVP measurement & verification (M&V) guideline is comprised of:
Core Concepts, Generally Accepted Principles, and supporting Application Guides.
Lia Webster of FES is working as 'editor in chief' on the revision of IPMVP due Fall 2021 for the IPMVP's 25th anniversary!
M&V for Federal ESPCs v4.0
M&V Guidelines: Measurement and Verification for Performance-Based Contracts Version 4.0. Published by DOE in 2015, is abridged from version 3.0 was authored by FES staff. Federal energy savings projects follow IPMVP methods but utilize risk allocation strategies to determine details in performance contracts. Measurement & verification is key to successful energy management.
