ONGOING MEASUREMENT&VERIFICATION M Measurement and Verification of Energy Savings (ESPC Projects) After the Project has been completed and the Notice of the Commencement of Energy Savings has been issued, ongoing measurement and verification (M&V) begins, in order to verify that the guaranteed energy savings occurs. The recommended minimum length of M&V is three (3)years. However, Grantees are encouraged to have M&V performed for the length of the financing term to extend the energy savings guaranteed for the Project. The proposed length of the ongoing M&V period should be identified in the Energy Services Proposal (ESP). The Grantee shall submit an annual Measurement and Verification Report to Commerce by February 15th of each year for the prior calendar year until all measurement and verification requirements have been satisfied. Each Measurement and Verification Report shall include: 1. An executive summary that gives a brief description of the energy efficiency measures (EEMS) identified and if the guaranteed energy savings were achieved; 2. The report shall include the following: a. Calculation of the energy savings verified for each measure. b. A brief description of any changes to the subject facilities. If these changes have an impact on the verified energy savings, this needs to be identified and the impact calculated. c. Any other deliverables that were proposed, such as greenhouse gas reduction calculations or building energy performance benchmarks. d. All physical measurements that were performed (i.e., boiler combustion test results, motor runtime logs). If necessary, these can be attached via appendix to the main report. e.

Specify how the ESCO will reimburse the Grantee for the identified differences between the verified savings and the guaranteed level of savings. Specify the timing of when the ESCO will make the reimbursement to the Grantee. The guaranteed minimum energy savings identified in the ESP and the verified actual energy savings should be identified in tabular form for easy reference by the Grantee and Commerce. The energy savings should be: 1. Identified in the native unit of measure for each utility commodity, such as kWh or Therms for both guaranteed and verified energy savings; 2. Translated into utility bill dollar savings; and 3. Denoted in dollars, using the energy rates in effect at the time the ESP was prepared. Measurement and Verification of Energy Savings (Non-ESPC Projects) Projects that do not use Energy Savings Performance Contracting must verify energy and operational cost savings for ten (10) years or until the energy and operational cost savings pay for the Project, whichever is shorter. They must also follow the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) energy savings performance contracting project guidelines. Third-party verification must be performed by one of the following: 1. An energy savings performance contractor selected by DES through a request for qualifications; 2. A licensed engineer that is a certified energy manager; 3. A project resource conservation manager; or 4.

All physical measurements that were performed (i.e., boiler combustion test results, motor runtime logs). If necessary, these can be attached via appendix to the main report. The estimated energy savings identified in the final Investment Grade Audit and the verified energy savings should be identified in tabular form for easy reference by the Grantee and Commerce. The energy savings should be: 1. Identified in the native unit of measure for each utility commodity, such as kWh or Therms for both estimated and verified energy savings; 2. Translated into utility bill dollar savings; and 3. Denoted in dollars, using the energy rates in effect at the time of the report was completed. 9. REAPPROPRIATION A.
