Data-Driven Performance Validation

Advanced Measurement & Verification Services

Madison Energy provides comprehensive measurement and verification (M&V) services designed to quantify and validate energy savings from efficiency improvements, renewable energy systems, and operational changes. Our professional engineering team employs rigorous methodologies aligned with international standards to deliver accurate, defensible documentation of project performance. Through our systematic approach to energy savings verification, we provide the quantitative evidence needed to confirm financial returns, support incentive applications, and demonstrate progress toward sustainability goals.

Our M&V specialists implement verification protocols conforming to the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) and ASHRAE Guideline 14, ensuring that savings calculations meet the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. We tailor our approach to each project's specific characteristics, selecting the most appropriate methodology from options including retrofit isolation, whole-facility analysis, calibrated simulation, and deemed savings approaches. This flexible framework enables us to optimize the balance between verification rigor and implementation cost while delivering results that satisfy stakeholder requirements.

Madison Energy develops detailed M&V plans establishing clear procedures for savings determination prior to project implementation. Our planning process addresses all critical elements including baseline establishment, independent variable identification, measurement boundary definition, data collection protocols, analysis methodologies, and quality assurance procedures. We identify key parameters requiring measurement versus those that can be estimated, develop appropriate sampling strategies when needed, and establish clear documentation requirements. This thorough planning ensures that all stakeholders share a common understanding of how performance will be evaluated.

Our technical team designs and implements sophisticated measurement systems capturing the data needed for accurate savings determination. We utilize a range of technologies including advanced metering infrastructure, wireless sensor networks, building automation system integration, and specialized measurement devices. Our approach emphasizes appropriate measurement frequency, sensor accuracy, data validation, and system reliability. For complex projects, we develop custom measurement solutions addressing unique facility characteristics and verification requirements. All measurement systems include robust data backup and quality verification procedures.

Our M&V reports provide clear, detailed documentation of verified savings and project performance. Each report addresses baseline conditions, methodology implementation, measurement results, and calculated savings. We present findings in both technical detail and executive summary formats, ensuring that information is accessible to audiences with varying technical backgrounds. Our reports include graphical presentations of key results, transparent calculation documentation, and recommendations for performance optimization. For projects with ongoing verification requirements, we establish streamlined reporting processes minimizing administrative burden while maintaining technical rigor.

Beyond initial verification, Madison Energy offers ongoing performance monitoring services that track savings persistence throughout the project lifecycle. Our monitoring systems identify performance degradation, operational changes, and optimization opportunities that might otherwise go undetected. When performance deviations occur, we conduct root cause analysis and develop corrective action recommendations. This ongoing attention ensures that expected financial returns and environmental benefits are sustained over the full project lifetime, maximizing the value of your energy investments.

Our measurement and verification solutions deliver substantial advantages:

  • Documented savings validation satisfying financial stakeholders

  • Maximized utility incentives through rigorous verification

  • Enhanced ability to recognize and address performance issues

  • Improved operational insights through detailed energy data

  • Credible sustainability reporting based on verified results

  • Optimized performance through data-driven decision making

  • Reduced risk of savings shortfalls or unexpected outcomes

Our M&V services provide the quantitative foundation needed to optimize energy investments and demonstrate achieved results to all stakeholders.
