Measurement & Verification

KEMA has years of experience performing measurement and verification in all types of facilities to validate program impacts

Measurement and verification is an established process for assessing the effectiveness of energy efficiency and demand response projects.

 

Collecting and analyzing energy data is fundamental to any task of determining energy performance. And no efficiency project is complete until the claimed savings have been demonstrated and validated through standard measurement and verification (M&V) protocols.

 

Custom measurement and verification for diverse facility types

KEMA has years of experience performing measurement and verification in all types of facilities. Our measurement and verification professionals apply custom data collection approaches to obtain insightful information on the performance of energy systems, efficiency measures, and demand response activities.

 

From short-term, time-of-use (TOU) metering studies to permanent installations involving true-RMS three-phase power monitoring, KEMA can develop measurement and verification plans that deliver the information needed to understand and demonstrate energy and demand consumption and impacts.

 

Expertise in electrical and non-electrical performance parameters

Our extensive inventory of data loggers and measurement equipment permits us to measure many electrical and non-electrical parameters, including amperage, voltage, power, temperature, pressure, humidity, flow rates, lighting levels, and rotational speed.

 

KEMA measurement and verification experts are versed in all major M&V standards, including the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP), FEMP Measurement and Verification Guidelines for Federal Energy Projects, and ASHRAE Guideline 14 on Measurement of Energy and Demand Savings.
