Title: A Specifications Guide for Performance Monitoring Systems
Abstract: This product is a specification guide for performance monitoring systems that was developed as part of jointly funded CEC PIER-DOE project intended to assist commercial and institutional building owners in specifying what is required to obtain the information necessary to initiate and sustain an ongoing commissioning activity. The project goal was to facilitate the delivery of specific performance related information to the benefit of both commissioning providers and building owners and operators. A number of large building owners were engaged in order to help create 'market pull' for performance monitoring while producing a specification that met their needs. The guide discusses the benefits of performance monitoring, identifies key performance metrics and how measurement accuracy requirements relate to the performance metrics that are used in both troubleshooting and routine reporting. An array of examples and resources are provided where applicable. The example specifications provided address the four key aspects of performance monitoring: • performance metrics • measurement system requirements • data acquisition and archiving • data visualization and reporting
