It asks you to measure energy performance, establish a baseline and show improvement in numbers. Claiming savings is not enough; they have to be measured.
What it asks for
Measurement is what sets it apart: an energy review is carried out, significant energy uses are identified, a baseline is established, and performance indicators are read against that baseline. When output rises, consumption rises with it — so the indicator is not absolute consumption but consumption normalised to output.
- Energy reviewConsumption sources and trends are analysed and the significant energy uses identified.
- BaselineThe period and conditions for comparison are defined; later measurements are read against them.
- Performance indicatorAn indicator normalised to output, floor area or degree-days is set; absolute consumption alone misleads.
- Measurement planWhich point is measured how often is planned, including meter calibration.
