.
User the
Baseline Configuration
page, a list of available models from the baseline configurations is displayed. Select a Model from the list, and the data is displayed.

NOTE:
If a baseline model is already configured with another project, the application displays a warning message as shown in the following image:

.
Under the
Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) Details
page, provide the following details:
Name
: Provide a name (Limit: 35 characters).
Start Date
: The start date of implemented energy conservation measures. This date is auto-populated, that is, the next date after the Baseline end date.
End Date
: Select the end date of implemented energy conservation measures.
NOTE:
The ECM implementation period must not overlap with the baseline period to ensure accurate representation of pre-ECM conditions. If there is an overlap in dates within the Baseline Calculator, Baseline Configuration page, or Reporting page, a pop-up message will prompt the user to adjust the dates.
Investment
: Provide an investment value. The allowed investment range is from 0.00 to 999,999,999.99 (1 cent less than $1 billion).
The currency shown here is configured at the site level. Only two decimals are allowed.
Description
: Provide a description for the ECM details.

Click
Next
.
Under the
Reporting Period
page, provide the following details
Start Date

: The start date is auto-populated, that is, the next date after the ECM end date.

End Date

: Select the end date.

Energy Saving Target

: Provide the energy-saving target value. The units are selected based on the resource type. Up to 4 decimal places are allowed in this field.

Description

: Provide a description for the Reporting Period.

.
Under the
Non-Routine Adjustments
page, provide the following details:
TIP:
Non-routine adjustments
are considered as expected events such as holidays, plant shutdowns, or other non-working periods that significantly alter energy usage patterns.
If the reporting period does not have any such events, user can skip to
Preview
.
Name
: Provide a name for non-routine adjustments.
Start Date
: Select the start date within the Reporting period.
End Date
: Select the end date within the Reporting period.
NOTE:
While creating another non-routine adjustment, if the time period overlaps with the existing non-routine adjustment, a pop-up message is displayed asking user to adjust the dates.
Factor
: Select a factor from the dropdown.
Value
: Provide a non-routine adjustment value.

Click
Add
. The Non-Routine Adjustment is added successfully.
User can add multiple non-routine adjustments.

NOTE:
User can modify these adjustments:
To edit an adjustment, click the [] icon, change the parameters and click
Save
.
To delete an adjustment, click the [] icon.
Click
Next
.
The
Preview
page displays the Savings Summary and Actual vs Estimated Consumption chart.

Saving Summary
: The data displayed in the Savings Summary is calculated from the Reporting start date and end date time period.
Energy Consumption with ECM
: The energy consumption reduced due to the efficiency improvements brought by the ECMs.
Energy Consumption without ECM
: The energy consumption under normal operating conditions without any interventions.
Total Savings
: The reduction in energy consumption resulting from the implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs). It is calculated as the difference between the energy consumption (without ECMs) and the post-ECM energy consumption.
Payback Period
: The time it takes to cover the investment cost from the savings generated by the ECM.
Actual vs Calculated Baseline Consumption
: This graph displays the visual representation between the Actual Baseline Consumption and the Calculated Baseline Consumption.
Hover the mouse pointer on any data point to view the values.

NOTE:
Before saving the M&V project, the user can go back and forth by using
Back
and
Next
action buttons to re-configure, if required.
Click
Save
. The Project is created.

The user can create a maximum of 10 M&V projects per site. After that, the
Add Project
button will be disabled.
The M&V projects table displays the following items:
Name
: The Project name. If the data is updating, a blue dot is displayed, and it may take 15 minutes to reconfigure the changes.
Configuration Status
: The configuration status of a project.
Complete
: The configuration is complete.
Draft
: Users can save the project as a draft, preserving all entered details up to the point where all mandatory fields have been completed.
Energy Savings
: The reduction in energy consumption resulting from the implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs)
Emission Reduction (tCO2e)
: The amount of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions that are prevented due to the implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs).
Cost Savings ($)
: The total saving in terms of money.
Savings Progress (%)
: The percentage of energy savings achieved to date compared to the expected or target savings over a defined period.
Baseline Model
: The baseline project used to create the project.
Last Modified
: The last updated time stamp is displayed in the UTC format.
Actions
:
View
: To view the Savings Summary and Actual vs Estimated Consumption chart of project.
Edit
: To edit a project. While editing a project, if the details are invalid or mandatory fields are left blank, the user cannot save the project. Update the changes and click
Save
.
Delete
: To delete a selected project. Click the [] icon on a desired project. The
Delete Project
dialog is displayed, click
Delete
.
Download Report
: To download the M&V Project report (Format: Microsoft Word). In the downloaded report, the user can add additional details (given below) to the report and save it.
NOTE:
The units displayed in the reports are based on the source unit of meters. Any changes made to the default unit settings will not be reflected in the downloaded report.
