Verify Energy Savings Through M&V

As pioneers in using whole-building interval meter data to track and verify energy project savings, we at kW Engineering have authored numerous guidelines, developed an open-source analysis tool, and implemented these approaches for many utility programs utilizing normalized metered energy consumption. We provide comprehensive Measurement & Verification (M&V) services to support utility programs, performance contracts, and projects requiring validated energy savings across the country. Our expertise includes both short- and long-term monitoring at thousands of facilities, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Ensure Incentive Dollars Are Spent Only on Projects That Achieve Savings

We are proficient in leading M&V protocols, including the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) and the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) application of the protocol. With extensive experience in performing each of the IPMVP options, A through D, we guarantee precise and credible energy savings verification for your projects.

Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC)

With smart meters increasing, more buildings have high-resolution consumption data making diagnostics, and reliable whole building M&V feasible in many cases. This approach to site-specific, meter based M&V has a few names: advanced measurement and verification (AMV), M&V 2.0, and metered energy consumption (NMEC) in California. Benefits of NMEC include:

Lower Cost
Rapid Feedback
Shorter Monitoring
Increased Accuracy
Experienced Team

To assist with NMEC analysis, you can use nmecr, an open source r package, for analyzing site-level, meter based, energy savings. Developed in-house, it is available as a free download.

Scale Your SEM Skills With kW Engineering's SHIELD Program

 
We’ve refined the traditional Strategic Energy Management (SEM) approach to create SHIELD: Sustainable High Impact Leadership Development. Recognizing that well-trained building operators are crucial for maintaining high-performing buildings, we’ve developed SHIELD to enhance operator engagement and commitment to peak performance. SHIELD is a comprehensive training program designed to increase buy-in from building operators, equipping them with the skills to identify and address the root causes of occupant comfort issues, ensuring permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes. More than just initial training, SHIELD fosters a collaborative partnership between kW Engineering and facility personnel, ensuring your building operates at its best.
