These examples serve as a tutorial for energy managers, M&V program managers <strong>and</strong> proposal<br />

evaluators alike. It should be possible for all three groups to use the same tables, in order to clearly<br />

communicate the aspects to be measured, the indicators for each aspect as well as the specific<br />

parameters chosen. Below are some examples for each of the aspects.<br />

9.2.1 Engineering Aspects<br />

Table 8 is an example on the evaluation of the installation of variable speed drives (VSD) for a water<br />

pumping system. The program evaluation panel determines to evaluate payback time, energy<br />

converting ratio, maintenance plan, optimal pump on/off scheduling plan, <strong>and</strong> the overall energy<br />

consumption. These evaluation criteria <strong>and</strong> the corresponding weighting factors are given to the<br />

program manager for program development. Then the program manager follows strictly the<br />

evaluation criteria <strong>and</strong> develops the corresponding energy <strong>efficiency</strong> measures to meet these<br />

criteria. For instance, an optimal pump on/off scheduling plan with a short payback period is chosen<br />

together with the VSD installation so as to have a higher score in the evaluation.<br />
