How the University of Michigan Uses Data to Prove the Value of Every New ECM
At the University of Michigan, energy conservation measures need a defined scope and validated savings before they get funded. There is no blank check.
Doug Livingston (Lead Energy Engineer, University of Michigan) walks through the trend analysis done before each project and the same comparison after it, anchored on a recently completed project. He also covers when savings are too small to see at the building meter, and how he decides between submetering and the main meter for validation.
