2. You might think you need incredibly specific
readings and intricate hardware attached to
your energy meters in order to complete
accurate and detailed measurement and
verification analysis: this is false! Keep clicking
to understand what’s behind the WegoWise
M&V Report.
4. First: Monthly gas (or electric) usage and cost info for a multifamily residential building.
5. Second: Basic building information. Size, systems, and metering structure are the
keys to an accurate analysis.
6. Third: Monthly weather data. If your winter was an average of 5 degrees colder this year
than it was last year, you'd want to think about how your heating was affected by that.
Maybe you had a more efficient year, even though you used more energy. An open
source like degreedays.net can provide the data we need to determine that.
8. We have 3 simple datasets – utility usage,
building characteristics, and weather. Is there
really anything cool we can do with them?
Prepare to be amazed. With this info, we can
easily calculate a regression analysis to model
what the building’s energy would be had it not
received any upgrades.
9. Regression line of a user’s gas patterns based on all historical use.
We can then use this simple regression line to show what the difference
would be if the old efficiency levels were extended.
11. It takes just a few creative efforts to put together
the results into a concise and understandable PDF
for anyone to share or print.
12. Summary of findings based on regression analysis and monthly usage and cost data.
13. We can also break down the analyses to help visualize these savings:
Actual usage vs. Expected usage: a visualization of the analysis completed using our
regression tool.
14. Table summary of raw savings data. Easy to understand, yet clear enough to trust.
Finally, we can provide a summary of the tables used in analysis for
open and clear communication of savings:
