Abstract

This paper presents the state of the art of an energy conservation approach which intended to provide techniques for calculating “whole—facility” savings and individual technology savings. With a goal of enhancing the overall energy performance of new commercial buildings, a detailed summary for the Measurement and Verification (M&V) approach is given. A case study is presented in detail. The study is conducted for the Chicago Center of Green Technology Building in Chicago, IL, referred to as CCGT. The main purpose of the study is to insure compliance with the requirements of LEED v1.0 and v2.0 Energy Credit 5: Measurement and Verification. We expect that the M&V study will provide the credit points necessary to achieve the owner's desired level of certification. In this paper only the analysis portion of the verification is presented.
