This guide describes the measurement approach for quantifying avoided energy use associated with retrofitting lighting systems with automatic controls, which are on panelboards that serve lighting loads other electrical loads (e.g., receptacles, equipment, etc.). The system may either have integrated control (ITC) at the panelboard or distributed control (DTC), where controls replace manual wall switches in the occupied space and are frequently coupled with wireless occupancy sensors.

Why Take Measurements?
Documenting consistent measurement techniques and reporting standards for DEM-funded energy efficiency projects is a vital step in facilitating judicious project selection and efficient program management. In agency applications for DEM project funding, the use of measurements (as opposed to general assumptions) yields more accurate estimates for baseline consumption and expected avoided energy use. Measurements promote… Continue reading Why Take Measurements?
Purpose of Guides
This guide is one of a series developed with the goal of implementing consistent, simple, purpose-driven measurement processes to help quantify the impact of projects designed to further New York City’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. These guides are designed for use by internal and external stakeholders to facilitate comprehensive characterizations of building energy consumption… Continue reading Purpose of Guides
