M & V for energy retrofits:  
  Home | Products | Documentation | About Obvius | Contact Us

Energy costs represent a significant expense item for most commercial and industrial buildings. As buildings age, the equipment for many energy-consuming systems (lighting, HVAC, etc.) becomes prohibitively expensive to operate and it is beneficial for building owners to invest in newer technologies and benefit from an attractive return on investment. A substantial portion of these retrofit projects either never achieve the projected savings or fail to sustain initial savings due to ineffective processes for monitoring and verifying energy savings.

The prevailing view in the industry has been that the costs of M&V are prohibitive and many projects are implemented without an adequate M&V provision that inevitably leads to a lower return on investment. Implementing effective, timely measurement and verification not only ensures that installation and setup are done correctly, but also provides continuous feedback on the long term success of the energy retrofit.
