ABSTRACT
The typical way energy savings is achieved by implementing certain measures, or executing an energy saving project that helps achieving the targeted KWH reduction. Energy baseline is the basis for an initial energy assessment of the building; it summarizes the building’s current energy performance and helps the energy management team to draw basis of where the complete energy management processes should start. Energy baseline can be developed and evaluated by energy management team based on energy data history and real-time metering. Energy targets shall identify target levels including what savings are included, how savings are to be evaluated, and how specific energy performance indicators and baselines are to be used. Energy performance indicators in energy centered maintenance model can be measured as part of the building’s energy utilization index, energy cost index, and energy productivity index. Building’s energy performance indicators focus on energy consumption of the building; information about total energy consumption is extracted from energy bills or energy meters.
