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.
