Abstract

Disclosed is an energy measurement and verification system and method which provides real time documentation of both baseline and post-retrofit energy consumption. Actual energy savings are calculated with a unique combination of computer hardware, energy and data translation software, measurement protocols, and digital remote sensing equipment which monitor the energy consumption of the retrofit environment and a sample baseline environment.
