The M&V Reporting Working Group aims to create a standardized format for annual Measurement and Verification (M&V) reports, essential for verifying Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) installations and their performance. Key elements include post-installation reports detailing ECM inspection and commissioning, performance measurements, calculations, and baseline adjustments. Reports, with a minimum annual frequency, must demonstrate continued ECM performance and guaranteed cost savings. Background information is crucial for context, and the inclusion of current utility rates is optional. The group is developing a detailed outline for these reports.

M&V Reporting Lia Webster, Nexant
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 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)
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
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
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
