Guidelines for Retrofit Performance Monitoring
Abstract
A data specification guideline developed for use in the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) Single-Family Building Energy
Retrofit Research Program is applicable to field monitoring
studies of cooling retrofits. The guideline was developed to
promote the collection of data (more detailed than billing data)
that are needed to fully understand retrofit energy performance.
The guideline identifies the important data parameters that
should be collected to meet this need and defines the data
parameters to ensure that consistent and comparable data' are
collected. The purpose of this paper is (a) to summarize the data
parameters identified in the guideline. and (b) to discuss low-cost
instrumentation that can be used to' monitor the data
parameters identified in a minimum data set.
