Measurement and Verification

Most regulatory agencies require utilities to measure and verify the savings of conservation and other demand-side management programs. Aloha's expertise in engineering, load research, utility programs, electrical construction, and technical writing allow us to provide these services in a cost-effective manner while still maintaining quality, accuracy, and integrity.

Our comprehensive approach includes:
· On-site equipment surveys
· Interviews with site personnel
· Review of installer's calculations
· Savings reassessment and explanations of discrepancies
· Sufficient but affordable metering
· Final savings calculations based upon metering, survey, and interview data.

The energy savings of conservation and efficiency measures depends upon accurate description of the installed equipment, persistence of the measures, and actual hours of operation. Our staff's experience in construction, engineering, and research, and our combination of anecdotal, survey, and metered information assures accurate, cost-effective, project analysis.
