DSEMC Measurement and Verification
29 04 2009For those interested in a detailed analysis (spreadsheets: BEWARE!) of DSEMC campus-wide lighting, water and steam projects . . .
We have used a measurement and verification program* based on industry standards to measure and verify energy and water savings for phase 1 projects. For details about savings related to the specific projects, visit our Project Update or the individual Lighting, Steam or Water projects.
Reductions of CO2 emissions accomplished by our demand-side energy and water projects have been translated into equivalent usage in homes and vehicles as well as equivalent acres of pine and fir forests storing carbon (in the form of cellulose, lignin, and other compounds). Inputs for the conversions are CO2 emissions from the university’s electric power production and Environmental Protection Agency conversion factors. View this Greenhouse Gas Reductions chart to see the translations.

DSEMC’s Measurement and Verification Program
The MV Documentation describes the bases, in terms of industry standards, for protocols used in measuring and verifying energy and water savings for the major UT conservation projects in 2008-09 (campus-wide lighting, water and steam upgrades). MV Documentation.
GHG Reductions
This table (see calculation doc below) translates the reductions of CO2 emission and water use accomplished by the major UT conservation projects in 2008-09 (campus-wide lighting, water and steam upgrades) into equivalent usage in homes and vehicles, and into equivalent acres of pine and fir forests storing carbon in the form of cellulose, lignin, and other compounds. Inputs for the conversions are CO2 emissions from UT Austin electric power production and the conversion factors found at http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-resources/refs.html.
