Scope:
AEC developed and reviewed TRMs to ensure accurate measurement and verification (M&V) of energy savings for energy efficiency measures and technologies.
Key Contributions:
- Measure Development:
- Created technical descriptions and energy savings calculations for measures such as LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and insulation upgrades.
- Included region-specific baselines, engineering algorithms, and compliance with local regulations.
- Savings Calculations:
- Developed energy, demand, and GHG reduction algorithms validated through engineering approaches and field data.
- Cost-Effectiveness Analysis:
- Conducted Total Resource Cost (TRC) and Utility Cost Test (UCT) evaluations to prioritize measures based on cost and emissions reductions.
- Custom Measure Review:
- Assessed participant-submitted energy-saving measures for accuracy and compliance with program criteria.
Impact:
AEC’s work on TRMs ensured consistency, accuracy, and transparency in program evaluations, supporting sustainable energy policies and regulatory alignment.
