AF M&V Template

The AFCESA introduces standardized Measurement and Verification (M&V) plans to effectively monitor energy savings for U.S. Air Force installations. Designed to address 80% of needs, these methods aim to streamline the implementation of energy efficiency projects while sharing risks between the USAF and Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). By focusing on essential measurements and minimizing review time, the initiative ensures long-term performance and cost-effectiveness, allowing installations to allocate only 5-10% of achieved savings to M&V costs while enhancing operational efficiency.

  1. AF M&V Template K. Quinn Hart, P.E Air Force Facilities Energy Program Manager HQ AFCESA

  2. M&V for the USAF • Cost Effective • Designed to Acquire and Maintain Savings for Installations • Designed to Accelerate Implementation • AFCESA introducing standard M&V Plans to address 80% of the needs • Common Sense Solutions • Boil M&V down to the Essence and monitor/measure only what is essential to guarantee the savings

  3. AFCESA Assists Installations & ESCOs • Standard M&V methods being introduced to accelerate growth • Less review required • Faster turnaround and approval • Targeted for the “80% solution” • Growing pains being experienced as the USAF and ESCOs learn monitoring methods • Bring our collective expertise to the table • Define expectations up front • Refocus from short term to long term solutions • M&V cost goal--- use only 5% to 10% of savings for M&V

  4. ESCO Contract History • In the past, many Task Orders utilized stipulated savings • How does this insure savings over task order term • The USAF then assumed all risk for achieving savings • If savings were not met, no budget existed to make up short-fall

  5. Cost Effective M&V • Focus on cost-effective measurement and long term solutions • This means that the USAF Installation and the ESCO share the risk of energy and savings performance • The USAF will typically assume the operational “amount of use” risk • The ESCO will typically have the equipment performance risk

  6. Example - VSD • Variable Speed Drive Retrofit • Can save substantial energy and maintain comfort • For a VSD Retrofit with 10 motors at 50 HP • Savings estimated at $114,000 at 8760 hours per year • M&V target cost in the range of $6,000 to $12,000 per year (5% to 10%)

  7. Example - VSD • Variable Speed Drive Retrofit • Lost saving often accumulate at 10%-20% / year • For a VSD Retrofit with 10 motors at 50 HP • Losses from not performing M&V could exceed $600,000 in first 10 years • M&V Costs at 10% are $114,000 over the 10 years • Automating M&V can further reduce cost of M&V

  8. Example - VSD • Variable Speed Drive Retrofit • Key risks are: • Disabling the VSD control and operating at 100% • Not repairing a dysfunctional control element • VSD Inverter Failure • Results in $0 savings for that motor application • M&V Plan designed to prevent these risks from eroding savings

  9. Example - VSD • Variable Speed Drive Retrofit • M&V Plan Outline Details

  10. Summary • Cost Effective M&V Solutions Being Introduced • Performance Risk Shared • USAF / ESCO • Designed to Maintain Performance Over Contract Life • USAF Needs $ 1 Billion Infrastructure • M&V Designed to Accelerate Implementation
