Guidelines for Residential Sub Metering
Abstract
This report outlines a protocol for the collection and analysis of residential sub metered data. It provides concise guidelines on current best practices for measurement, analysis, diagnostics, and documentation of residential end-uses. End-use monitoring offers interested parties the ability to make informed decisions by providing direct feedback for design decisions and occupant behavior. The protocol outlines levels of objectives, what to measure, how to measure it, analysis guidelines, and best practice documentation methods. This protocol is a universally beneficial tool for all parties associated with the built environment including designers, builders, owners, building operators, city bodies, and policy makers. These guidelines are a tool to increase the likelihood of producing beneficial data in a sub metered project.
