by jbs121109f3 — December 14, 2009—The U.K.’s Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) has launched TM39: Building Energy Metering, which provides best practice guidance for those responsible for the design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of building services energy metering systems. Meters that are selected, installed and commissioned correctly will provide the information needed for the effective monitoring and targeting that is an essential part of good energy management, says CIBSE.
This updated edition provides a more general approach to energy metering for both new and existing buildings, allowing designers and facilities managers to develop a metering strategy which is tailored to meet the particular requirements of a specific project. A step-by-step method is provided to assist in selecting appropriate ways of metering energy use.
CIBSE says TM39 is essential reading for designers, owner/occupiers, landlords (and the leasing agents who act on their behalf), tenants, facilities managers, and anyone else who can benefit from the energy data that meters and submeters can provide.
