2. Objectives M&V Definition
M&V Plan Format
Witnessing of M&V
CEHNC Experiences
Lessons Learned
Training
3. M&V Definition
4. M&V Definition
5. M&V Definition
6. M&V Definition CEHNC does not dictate specific M&V protocol
Can use
7. M&V Definition Customers tend to prefer IPMVP
8. M&V Plan FormatEnergy General Description for each ECSM
Rationale for selection of method
Baseline consumption
Actual savings determination method
Calculations
Identify risk factors & who assumes the risk
Instrumentation & Calibration
Frequency of measurements
Identify any stipulated parameters
Indicate anticipated results
Blank forms that to be used in future reports
9. M&V Plan Format Maintenance Provide for each Maintenance Procedure:
Description
Frequency
Cost
Date performed (to be included in report)
Who performed (to be included in report)
10. Witness of M&V Government should witness baseline measurements
Government should witness retrofit measurements
Identify Government POC
Name
Phone number
position
11. M&V PlansWhat Have We Seen ? Adequate M&V plans
Inadequate or confusing M&V plans
Each ECSM not identified
No contingency plans for variances
Inadequate sampling
Wrong assumptions
Wrong hours of operation
Modeling with no calibration
General lack of details
12. M&V ResultsWhat Have We Seen ? Expected results achieved.
Inadequate M&V requiring multiple submissions
Low flow toilets that use more water than the original equipment
Poor performance on low flow toilets
Shower heads that have too low of a flow (0.5 gpm)
HVAC controls that are not functioning
Interface with other equipment not addressed (commissioning)
Baseline measurements not performed in accordance with the approved task order and identified after new equipment is installed.
13. M&V ResultsWhat Have We Seen ? Inadequate M&V requiring multiple submissions
Broken data loggers discovered after several months
Boiler efficiency based on operating logs (yielded 110% efficiency ?)
Faucet aerators too low flow (0.5 gpm)
Inadequate water pressure
Installed meters not read
Required utility bill data not provided
Missing required balancing reports
Testing unloaded chillers
Inconsistency in witnessing of M&V
15. Lessons Learned Provide format for M&V Plan
Provide M&V check list
16. Lessons Learned
17. Lessons Learned
18. Lessons Learned
19. Lessons Learned
20. Lessons Learned
Problem: No clear understanding of M&V Plan by key participants during construction
Solution: Mandate Pre-construction meeting with CEHNC, Contractor, Customer, & C.O.R
21. Lessons Learned Long Term
Review actual implementation of M&V
Perform after 1 or 2 years of project acceptance
Answer the following questions:
Is customer happy with the product ?
Is the project working as intended ?
Should we change our future M&V procedures ?
22. M&V Training Developed & provided for AMC
Additional training is available upon request
