Measurement and Verification Real World Experience

Abstract

As a Senior Associate for Wood Environment and Infrastructure Solutions with over 39 years of experience as an energy engineering manager, a mechanical engineer, a design engineer, industrial plant engineer, and project manager Scott Walters, presents the real-world experience of measurement and verification. Mr. Walters has performed measurement and verification of a combined heat and power plant, multiple chiller plants, multiple air handling systems and multiple industrial process systems. His experience on measurement and verification of HVAC systems and industrial systems reveals the following and more:

Establish base lines for existing systems and identify benefits of new systems

Review OPR
Have a plan and know the contract
Know what you expect as benefits to know what and where to baseline

Historical data generated to predict or plan equipment repairs

Motor amps tell the story
Bearings failing
Belt misalignment

Identification of design and/or installation issues

Coils piped backwards
Fan types not matching submittals
Duct and pipe fittings impacting system pressure drop
Freeze protection valve positions

Importance of component calibration

Sensors such as temperature, humidity, CO2 and process parameters

System Performance to meet building or process requirements

Equipment performance at or near a design day or at peak process event
Equipment adaptable performance at low loads

Reveal equipment schedule opportunities

The 5 second scheduling gremlin
Functional use changes catch it while you can; review the OPR

The Value of M&V

A component of the commissioning process
Establishes base lines for performance contracts
Validates ongoing performance for ESPCs or UESCs
Preventive maintenance tools
Happy and productive occupants
