Collection Prepared by Northwest Utilities
The M&V Resources collection focuses on measurement and verification of energy savings from SEM interventions within a facility. It includes SEM M&V guidelines and protocols, as well as deep dives into specific modeling and savings estimation issues from experienced SEM M&V practitioners. Most relevant to energy professionals, resources in the collection focus on engineering and statistical analysis at the level of rigor necessary to support quantifying and claiming savings in SEM programs.
