An EE labelling / certification (or Energy Performance Certification EPC) is an important policy intervention that can help raise awareness of energy consumption and address the market failures that cause sub-optimal uptake of energy efficiency in buildings. It provides an incentive to improve EE in buildings. An EE certification is primarily base. The four above mentioned tools were developed or customised by the EECB project for implementation in Vietnam. These ones are interraleted and complementary, and they all play an essential role as regards EE monitoring and improvement at both individual building and sectorial levels. Tool #1: Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) profiles. The Specif. Figure 1 -Definition of a SEC profile Such a calculation provides a “raw” SEC value for a building. However, differences in occupancy characteristics (e.g., operational hours, tenant's category, tenant's floor area in use, tenant/guest's schedule and/or quantity, etc.) can drastically vary from one building to another, leading to inconsistencies an. The US department of Energy states that Building energy consumption Benchmarking is the practice of comparing the measured performance (SEC profile) of a building to itself, its peers, or established norms, with the goal of informing and motivating performance improvement. It is specific to building typologies and climate zones. This mechanism is u. The International Performance for Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) core concepts states that “a M&V Protocol is a process of planning, measuring, collecting data, analyzing, verifying and reporting energy savings within an individual facility resulting from the implementation of energy conservation measures (ECMs)”. M&V activities co.
