BUILDING STRONG®2

Advanced metering mandated by Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007), policies, and directives.

Deadlines to install advanced meters Electric by 30 Sep 2012 (EPAct 2005) Gas and Steam by 30 Sep 2016 (EISA 2007)

Meter buildings with est. $35K/yr utility cost and/or 29,000 sq ft, and reimbursable tenant facilities.

Advanced Meter Requirement

BUILDING STRONG®3

End StateEstablish the energy information infrastructure (installation energy footprint) that will enable/provide: • Management of smart buildings

• Energy Managers who are energy smart and more effective to meet energy reduction goals.

• Building occupants are energy aware and actively participate in energy reduction actions.

• Reduce energy waste

• Continuous improvements in energy efficiencies

• Meet the requirements of NetZero by 2030.

BUILDING STRONG®4

Define the scope of the action

• What data do we need to collect and analyze?

• What is the data flow architecture?

• What hardware and software is needed to collect and transfer data?

• What hardware and software is currently installed and needs to be integrated into the system?

• How will the system security (Information Assurance) be tested, implemented, and maintained?

• Who will sustain/maintain the systems?
