Metering Best Practices Guide Published

April 11, 2008

FEMP, in conjunction with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), recently published a new metering guide designed to provide information on effective metering strategies as they apply to systems and equipment typically found at Federal facilities.

Metering Best Practices—A Guide to Achieving Utility Resource Efficiency provides facility/energy managers and practitioners with useful information about energy and resource metering, the relevant metering technologies, communications, applications for data, and ideas for energy and cost savings. In addition, the guide assists in the implementation of metering requirements in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Ab Ream, O&M Team Lead, led the effort for FEMP. The PNNL authors were Greg Sullivan, Ray Pugh, and Dave Hunt. The guide in PDF format is currently available for download from the FEMP Web site at www.eere.energy.gov/femp/information/publications.html#om.
