We apply a variety of techniques to
diagnose poor performance of facility energy systems. This often involves the
design and implementation of end use and diagnostic metering systems. Studies
range from detailed investigations of individual buildings to standardized
sub-metering of large samples. Specialized end use metering can be a powerful
diagnostic tool, although in many cases we can identify problems and corrective
measures based on inspection, spot measurements and existing utility metering.
Specific services include:
-
Trend analysis
using utility billing records.
-
Estimation of
energy and water end use consumption and cost based on a facility survey and
utility metering records.
-
Analysis of
time-of-day and seasonal operational patterns and identification of potential
operational problems using 15-minute demand metering.
-
Specification of
appropriate meters, sensors, installation procedures and software for
diagnostic metering systems.
-
Installation and
testing of metering equipment and software (short-term and permanent).
-
Analysis
of diagnostic metering data to identify operational problems and equipment
failures.
