Question #
E4.3 — Data Monitoring
Question
How frequently are energy use and carbon emissions trended and monitored?
Applicability
Applicable to Office and Healthcare buildings
Answer
Select the most finite:
- Annually — carbon
- Quarterly —carbon
- Monthly — energy and carbon
- Monthly — energy
- Daily — electricity only
- Daily – other fuel source
- In Real-time — electricity only
- In Real-time – other fuel source
- None of the above
Description
Annual energy consumption and carbon emissions can be normalized by floor area for assessment of trends and benchmarking against other properties, using energy use intensity (EUI) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI).
Real-time monitoring of energy consumption and demand provides data necessary for assessment and correction of operational issues. Real-time energy management allows for adjustments and identification of potential measures that will optimize building performance.
Requirements
- Demonstrate that energy use data is regularly tracked and reviewed by the building operations and management team
- Graph or table comparing the most recent year’s energy use or carbon emission patterns with the patterns of prior years, showing daily, weekly, monthly or seasonal trends as available
- Brief narrative outlining building management’s approach to data monitoring. This should explain why trends occurred, including weather, occupancy fluctuations, unexpected leaks, meter faults, conservation projects or corrective actions implemented
Documentation
- Sample set of trend reports or screenshots of data monitoring dashboard demonstrating frequency of tracking
- Narrative outlining building management’s approach to data monitoring
