INTRODUCTION
1 Introduction
• M&V adds value by increasing the acceptability of energy performance and energy performance
improvement results.
• M&V techniques can be used by facility owners or energy efficiency project investors for the following
purposes
o Increase Energy Savings
o Document Financial Transactions
o Enhance Financing for Efficiency Projects
o Improve Engineering Design and Facility Operations and Maintenance
o Manage Energy Budgets
INTRODUCTION
2 M&V Applications
• Energy Performance Contracts
• Use of M&V in PAT Scheme
• M&V for Effective ISO 50001 Implementation
INTRODUCTION
3 Fundamental Principles of M&V
The fundamental principles of good M&V practice are described as follows:
• Accurate
• Complete
• Confidential
• Conservative
• Consistent
• Impartial
• Relevant
• Transparent & Reproducible
INTRODUCTION
4 The M&V Process
The complete M&V process involves the
following six steps:
• Develop an M&V plan
• Verify EEM installation
• Data Gathering
• Compute Savings
• Report Savings
• Review the need to repeat process

FACTORS DRIVING ENERGY SAVINGS
5 Factors driving Energy Savings
• There are two fundamental factors that
drive energy savings:
o Performance
o Usage
• Performance describes how much energy is
used for a specific task; while usage
describes how much time is required for
task.

OPTIONS OR METHODS FOR CONDUCTING
5 Basic Options or Methods for conducting M&V
Option Important Features EEM Examples
A Retrofit Isolation: Possible reduction in measurement cost, Simple Lighting retrofits
Key Parameter Measurement but introduces some uncertainty in the Motor replacement
estimated saving. Steam trap replacement
B Retrofit Isolation: More accurate results due to Complex lighting retrofits
All Parameter Measurement measurements of all parameters Motor Replacement
Variable Speed Drive
Renewable energy generation
C Whole Facility Analysis Need baseline as well as reporting period Whole facility/building retrofits (involving
data lighting, HVAC and other EEMs)
D Whole Facility: Calibrated When there is no meter in the baseline, New Building
Simulation baseline data can be ‘manufactured’ Building Envelope improvement
under controlled circumstances Energy management control system
(simulation) Variable air volume conversion
OPTIONS OR METHODS FOR CONDUCTING
5 Uncertainty and M&V Cost
• Measurement is one of the basic elements of
M&V, however it may includes errors.
• Errors are the differences between observed and
true energy use.
• Any statement of measured energy savings
includes some degree of uncertainty.
• Reductions in uncertainty are obtained by
limiting errors in the measurements and analyses
conducted.

MEASUREMENT & VERIFICATION
5 Difference between M&V and Monitoring & Targeting
• Monitoring and targeting includes the traditional energy monitoring, accounting, analysis and
reporting functions.
• M&T ignores non-routine adjustments and interactive effects, whereas M&V considers such effects
fully.
• M&V is concerned with measurement of actual energy performance while Monitoring & Targeting is
concerned with the gap between actual energy performance.
