How do we undertake Savings Verification in facilities that have more than one production line?
When we plan a Measurement and Verification process, we take into consideration predictability, measurability and likely impact of all plausible factors. Such factors include but are not limited to plant throughput, man hours, machine hours, plant equipment intensity and schedule, occupancy levels and weather. We correlate the consumption and production data over a few years prior to the installation of the EASI System. It is imperative that we get the various product mixes for the different products for the various months (the longer the period, the more accurate the verification) in order to determine savings. We have access to software applications that find and define the relationships between a facility’s electrical consumption and any of several sets of monthly statistics that indicate a degree of load and usage of the facility. We have experience in undertaking the measurement and verification in plants with a number of product lines. It is certain that there is a statistically
