Measurement & Verification Plan Sample Clauses

Measurement & Verification Plan. The goal of this task is to develop a measurement and verification (M&V) plan to quantify energy performance, potential for grid flexibility and other criteria to be determined in partnership and coordination with low income and/or disadvantaged communities. The same M&V plan will be used at each demonstration site for consistency in resulting data. The Recipient Shall: • Identify key performance criteria of REAL systems to monitor and from which to collect data to characterize the baseline system performance and REAL system performance. At a minimum, the key performance criteria must facilitate the evaluation of technical performance; end user acceptance; energy savings; peak demand reduction; potential for grid-flexibility and economic potential of the system, compared to the baseline system. • Conduct electrical audit of each demonstration site to identify necessary equipment required to document key performance criteria. • Identify measurement and verification equipment needed to monitor and collect data on the key performance criteria. • Prepare a memorandum describing the measures taken to protect PII (Summary of Actions Taken to Protect Personally Identifiable Information). • Document findings in Measurement and Verification Plan for test sites that includes, but is not limited to: • Identification of key performance criteria needed to evaluate technical performance; end user acceptance; energy savings; peak demand reduction; potential for grid flexibility, and economic (e.g., energy cost savings) potential of the system, compared to the baseline system. The plan should include all measurements needed to verify whether the goals and objectives in Section II.C have been met. • Identification of equipment needed to complete the M&V plan Products: • Measurement and Verification Plan (Draft and Final) • Summary of Actions Taken to Protect Personally Identifiable Information

Measurement & Verification Plan. The M&V Plan defines the Contractor’s process of preparing reports, taking on-site measurements, monitoring building automation systems, and/or any additional work to quantify Savings for the purpose of meeting the Guaranteed Savings as identified in Exhibit D. Contractor’s measurement and verification activities shall not include maintenance of the Project or record keeping related to such maintenance, which shall be the sole responsibility of Customer. The savings, once calculated, are typically stipulated for the life of the project, but may be measured or visually inspected annually. Exhibit E defines the specific M&V Plan for the project. Ongoing actual measurements may or may not be used as identified in Exhibit D.

Measurement & Verification Plan. This methodology has been developed for this project for which a constant load, kWpre, operating for a determinable and uniform period of time in the baseline is being replaced with a new load, kWpost, operating for a determinable and uniform period of time in the post-installation period. General project scope: • Re-ballast and re-lamp standard fluorescent fixtures with electronic ballasts and T-8 lamps and provide new tombstones as needed. • Wash and clean fixture pans and diffusers and replace discolored, cracked, or broken diffusers. • Install building wide lighting controls to implement pre-programmed lighting operation schedules. • Install carbon monoxide sensors and replace mechanical equipment to control the operation of ventilation fans. Data Sources: • Approved Standard Wattage Table (See attached Table C-1). • Measured hours of Systems and Equipment operation using metering installed by the Contractor. • Nameplate data for existing Systems and Equipment in County Facilities.
