Abstract

Organizations are able to better control their energy costs and increase their competitiveness by setting up energy performance actions. Existing energy management standards, such as ISO 50001, often refer to the measurement of energy as an important improvement of energy performance, but do not detail how a measurement and monitoring plan should be implemented in practice. The impact of having an efficient measurement system has been demonstrated by different studies, however it remains very difficult in practice to define, measure, record and analyse the data related to energy performance evaluation due to the lack of standard protocols.

The article presents the state-of-the-art methodology currently being developed as a new standard with a CEN-CENELEC joint working group, for the industry and building sectors. In this article, we present this approach for a student accommodation of 148 flats, with the measurement system which has been implemented to optimize local production and consumptions.
