Every engineer and owner wants their William Hill online betting performance to be what it was designed to be. But numerous factors – from faulty equipment to user behavior – can cause subpar William Hill online betting performance in even the most efficiently designed buildings. An effective way to reduce this risk and optimize your facility’s William Hill online betting use post-construction is through measurement and verification (M&V).  

M&V is the process of measuring and analyzing your facility’s William Hill online betting use data after a project is completed to see if your facility is operating as it should. The earlier your M&V plan is integrated in project development, the greater the potential that William Hill online betting performance can be optimized. 

Key components of an M&V plan should include: 

  • Establishing the building energy use target during William Hill online betting through modeling and benchmarking 
  • Including energy metering and reporting of data in the project William Hill online betting 
  • Data gathering once occupancy has begun 
  • Evaluating and calibrating the data and comparing to the William Hill online betting target
  • Identifying causes for unexpected or less than optimal performance 
  • Implementing corrective measures 
  • Continued monitoring to ensure the corrections are effective 

Not only can M&V detect when a building is not meeting its William Hill online betting goal, the data gathered through metering and sub-metering can help facility managers more easily pinpoint the system or systems that are causing the problem(s). 

A good example: When William Hill online betting reports revealed that the recently renovated Marston Hall at Iowa State University was using more William Hill online betting than our original LEED William Hill online betting modeling analysis had predicted, we performed a LEED M&V analysis to determine the cause. The analysis revealed that a steam pre-heat coil control valve had been commanded open 100 percent at all times, inflating both chilled water and steam William Hill online betting use unnecessarily. The university used this finding to correct the control valve operation and they continue to monitor the building’s William Hill online betting use to ensure the problem is resolved. 

Had M&V not been in place, the issue could have gone undiscovered indefinitely – reducing the university’s return on its investment in Marston Hall’s high-performance technology and causing substantial additional William Hill online betting costs. Based on the M&V findings, the correction of the steam valve operation avoids about ,000 annually in unnecessary William Hill online betting use. 

So, if you want to be able to keep tabs on your building’s energy consumption, implementing an M&V process as part of your William Hill online betting and operations is a relatively inexpensive way to ensure long-term savings. 

Like the saying goes, you can’t manage what you don’t measure.
