M&V Reporting Lia Webster, Nexant

M&V Summit - Nov 2002 Current M&V Reporting - IDIQ Requirements (C.4.2): Post-Install M&V report –Contents to be specified in M&V plan –Report on: ECM installation, inspection, & commissioning M&V reports –Annual is minimum frequency –Provide evidence that continued ECM performance achieves guaranteed cost savings –Contents: ECM performance measurements, Calculations, & Baseline adjustments

M&V Summit - Nov 2002 M&V Reporting working group Subcommittee formed in Palm Springs (Ron Araujo, Sylvia Berry-Lewis, Doug Dahle,Dan Flaig, Mark Halverson, Quinn Hart, Scott Judson, Venkat Kumar, Mike Parker, Julie Payne, Dan Sanders, Tatiana Strajnic, Tory Sweetser, Dave Underwood, Phil Voss) Objective: Develop a standard format for annual M&V reports Status: Template under development: –Detailed outline with mandatory and optional sections –Include current utility rates (optional)

M&V Summit - Nov 2002 Key issues in M&V reporting: M&V report should have enough context to make sense alone Background information is critical : –DO (ECM descriptions, M&V plan, cost schedules), acceptance documentation, commissioning materials, post-installation report, contract modifications –Making M&V report all-inclusive = MASSIVE report

M&V Summit - Nov 2002 Ideas ESCOs could issue CD ROM and/or binder with all relevant background info –With first year M&V report only –Shouldn’t be too hard for ESCO to assemble FEMP working on electronic filing system –documents would be available to Agency if needed; not currently in place –Note: Electronic documentation is NOT a current program requirement

M&V Summit - Nov 2002 Another idea from working group… FEMP needs to address question: “why don’t we see savings in the utility bills?” –SuperESPC could address issue separate from M&V reports, or –Standard language could be included as appendix to M&V reports
