Annual Energy Usage Measurements Sample Clauses

Annual Energy Usage Measurements. Post-installation energy use as measured by monthly utility bills is not tracked throughout the term of this contract, nor used in any way to verify savings guarantee. To do so would decrease the accuracy of the savings estimated, due to the introduction of many uncontrolled variables. These variables, such as schedule and occupancy changes, weather conditions, additional building electrical loads, replacement of existing equipment, etc., are difficult to track and account for. And their resulting impact on ‘measured’ energy savings can only be estimated by further assumptions and engineering calculations. Therefore, Option A was determined to be the most accurate and cost effective way to verify savings for this contract
