In the previous two articles in this series we showed you how toanalyse energy data, pinpoint energy inefficiencies andtake advantage of submetering. The next step is what to do to fix these inefficiencies – creating and managing energy efficiency projects. This is known asMeasurement & Verification, or as we like to call it,M&V.
Getting Started with Measurement & Verification
1. Loginto your DEXMA demo account.
2.Enter theCorporate Buildingsaccount.
3.In theAnalysissection, click onM&V Projectson the left menu to check the progress of specific energy efficiency projects.
4.You’ll see a list of sample projects for different buildings (lighting, refrigeration etc). The blackTimebar shows how much time is left until the project ends. TheSavingsbar shows your progress against projected savings (the yellow line represents the savings goals).如果储蓄酒吧在绿色你走上正轨,如果it’s in red you’re not,so you need to find out why and either change your strategy or amend the goal if it was unrealistic to start with.
5.For more details on a particular project, click on it to see a breakdown of performance by date and time. Choose the Dates and Frequency (per day, week or month). The blue line is your baseline (reference consumption). Yourreal consumptionwill be shown in either green (more efficient than the baseline), orange (not much change) or red (less efficient).
And voilà, over time you will get the satisfaction of being able to measure and verify your energy savings against your targets. As you start taking actions to improve energy efficiency, you can keep an eye on your DEXMA dashboard and compare it day-by-day and week-by-week tomonitor progress and verify results.Try it for yourselfand you’ll see it’s nice and straightforward.
