Example Measurement & Verification Plan for a Super espc project

3.3 Proposed Energy and Water Savings Calculations and 
Methodology 
The baseline and post demand for each usage group will be determined using 
Equation 3-1. 
Equation 3-
1
: 
kW UsageGroup
U,baseline
= 
Σu (kW
baseline fixture
)

Example M&V Plan 
kW UsageGroup
Upost
= 
Σu (kW
post fixture
) 
Energy (kWh) and demand (kW) savings will be calculated using Equation 3-2 and 
Equation 3-3, respectively. 
Equation 3-
2
: 
kWh Savings = 
∑u [ (kW UsageGroup
U,baseline
- kW UsageGroup
U,post
) x Annual Hours 
of Operation] 
Equation 3-
3
: 
kW Savings = 
∑u [(kW UsageGroup
U,baseline
- kW UsageGroup
U,post
) x 
Coincidence Factor] 
where: 
kWh Savings
= 
kilowatt-hour savings realized during 
one year post-installation 
kW Savings
= 
Coincident kilowatt demand saving 
realized 
kW UsageGroup 
U,baseline 
= 
Lighting baseline demand for usage 
group u 
kW UsageGroup 
U,post 
= 
Lighting demand during post-
installation period for usage group u 
Annual Hours of Operation 
= 
Annual number of operating hours for 
the usage group u 
Coincidence Factor 
= 
Maximum percent of lighting 
operating during at time building peak 
electrical demand, as determined from 
metered data from time-of-use loggers 
The annual cost savings will be determined using Equation 3-4. 
Equation 3-
4
: 
Annual Cost Savings = [Rate
kWh 
× kWh
Savings
] + [12 
× Rate

× kW

where energy rates are outlined in Table 2-1 in Section 2.2. 
As described in the Responsibility Matrix, no alterations or renovations to the office 
spaces are anticipated for the duration of this delivery order. Should the GSA make any 
improvements, it assumes the risk that the savings calculated by this plan may not 
materialize.
