Text

The accuracy of a savings estimate developed through engineering calculations depends on the extent to which the analysis is based on correct assumptions regarding such factors as usage patterns and operating hours. We assess assumed and actual baseline conditions by reviewing program baseline assumptions, verifying adequate supporting documentation, and testing the validity of those assumptions via interviews with participants and the findings from the verification effort. In our review of the calculation procedures used for different types of measures, we focus on the main factors that determine energy use.
