Project Details
|
Architectural Energy Corporation provides Measurement & Verification (M&V) services in support of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental DesignTM LEED Certification process. Services included development and submission of an M&V Plan, a signed letter template, and supporting documentation to satisfy the requirements of the LEED Energy and Atmosphere Credit Number 5.
AEC also, in some cases, implements the M&V process to assess the performance of specific energy conservation measures, and determine energy consumption for specific building end-uses. These services included short-term diagnostic and energy end-use monitoring utilizing a combination of the existing building automation system, as well as remote data logging equipment, data analysis, and verified savings calculations.
Project Highlights
Successful M&V LEED Submissions:
- Belmar 2M3 Mixed-use Facility, Golden, Colorado
- Belmar Block 5 Mixed-use Facility, Golden, Colorado
- GSA Department of Transportation, Lakewood, Colorado
- Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences, Incline Village, Nevada

Review to ensure design and construction documents satisfy M&V requirements. Suggested additional control points or alternative monitoring strategies to satisfy M&V requirements.
Development of a site-specific M&V Plan following the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP).
Submission of the signed LEED template letter, M&V Plan, and supporting documents illustrating monitored control points or alternative monitoring strategies.
Short-term monitoring performed on lighting and HVAC related energy conservation measures and building energy end-uses.
Monitoring performed using a combination of building automation system control point trending, and use of portable data logging equipment.
AEC’s patented ENFORMA® software and hardware system used for data collection and analysis.
Final M&V report developed illustrating HVAC and lighting system performance, and building end-use energy consumption. |
