BuildingIQ Automated Measurement & Verification service

BuildingIQ has announced a measurement and verification service that allows building owner/operators to automatically measure and verify the effectiveness and impact of energy-saving measures in order to qualify for utility or organisational savings incentives and mandates.

Called Automated Measurement & Verification (AM&V), the service is compliant with the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) practices and is designed to deliver fast M&V. It enables organisations to deploy M&V technology once and use it frequently, saving time, money and complexity.

The methodology used in the service is consistent and repeatable, effectively eliminating the human error inherent in standard M&V practices including data collection (independent and dependent variables), baseline creation, baseline prediction output, savings calculations (baseline vs actual) and non-routine adjustments. Baseline models are rigorously reviewed prior to use and all results undergo periodic quality assurance.
