Abstract
The monitoring and verification procedures that
have been developed for the Texas LoanSTAR
program and the ESL's Rebuild America Program
have become a foundation for a number of other state
and federal M&V programs, including the United
States Department of Energy's (USDOE's) 1996
NEMVP, 1997 IPMVP, 2001 IPMVP, ASHRAE's
GP 14P, and the 1999 Texas Performance
Contracting Guidelines. This paper reviews the basic
procedures that are used for monitoring and verifying
energy savings in commercial buildings that receive
energy conservation retrofits, including procedures
that are used for measuring energy savings in
buildings where hourly pre-retrofit and post-retrofit
whole-building data have been collected; buildings
where monthly pre-retrofit and hourly post-retrofit
data are collected; and buildings where monthly preretrofit
and monthly post-retrofit data are used to
verify savings.
