How is the baseline energy consumption determined?

Pre-installation monitoring may be needed to measure energy savings for some types of energy efficiency measures. In addition, the actual baseline energy consumption will need to be adjusted to reflect the applicable federal or industry efficiency standards (such as ASHRAE 90.1, NEMA, ENERGY STAR®, etc.) to determine the correct incentive amount. For some types of energy efficiency measures, such as a constant speed chiller replacement, the baseline energy consumption is actually determined by a minimum efficiency standard in conjunction with some post-installation data so that no pre-installation monitoring is necessary.
