Measurement of Real-World Impacts
Measurement is the key to accurately estimating impacts, but it is not as easy as it may seem. Energy consumption may be affected in many unpredictable ways that have nothing to do with energy efficiency programs. The West Hill Energy Team has direct experience with a wide variety of commercial and residential applications and has developed strategies to mitigate these issues through well-designed and thorough on-site measurement.
Thoughtful attention to data cleaning allows us to identify possible data issues prior to beginning the analysis. Accuracy is assessed through review of statistics and placing the results in context for the specific site. The analysis culminates with a site-specific report that clearly discusses accuracy and possible sources of uncertainty. West Hill Energy has successfully applied this strategy to metering residential, commercial, and industrial equipment.
