ABSTRACT

It is important that any proposed M&T programme be designed to suit the needs of its host organization. From an energy point of view, organizations can be characterized in a variety of ways. One useful classification method is by the number of sites covered and the level of metering adopted, as follows [1]:

Single sites with central utility metering are probably best treated as a single EAC, while the introduction of sub-metering enables such sites to be broken-up into a number of separate EACs. Where organizations have a number of separate properties, each with central utility meters, the sites should be treated as separate EACs. If organizations have multiple properties, each containing sub-metering, then it should be possible to divide each site into a number of separate EACs.
