Instrumenting Buildings to Determine Retrofit Savings: Murphy's Law Strikes Again
Abstract
Experiences with instrumentation, installation
and maintenance of building energy metering systems
are presented. The building energy metering was
installed in a variety of locations in programs handled
by the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M
University. Metering typically includes monitoring
for the whole-building electric load, chilled and hot
water thermal loads and selected submetered
electrical loads. The emphasis of the lessons learned
was on the instrumentation used and installation and
maintenance problems encountered during the course
of the metering projects.
