What’s required in TX may not be necessarily required in Massachusetts. M&amp;amp;V plans are customized to each project, based on the scope work of the project, the technology, and the confidence level established by the utility with respect to the anticipated savings for the installation of the proposed ECM(s) for the project.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The more involved M&amp;amp;V protocols may have a cost associated with them for the implementation of the M&amp;amp;V, specifically, the cost of the equipment required to capture the data required by the utility, and the accompanying labor cost to provide the installation of the meters. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;M&amp;amp;V plans are not “one size fits all.” Every energy efficiency project has its own unique scope of work. The right M&amp;amp;V protocol can be crafted based on early discussions with utilities as all parties try to frame out what potential savings can be achieved through the project. Providing that type of feedback very early in the application process allows all parties involved in the project to establish responsibilities based on their own capabilities and areas of expertise. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Not every project will require M&amp;amp;V if the utility believes that there is enough data to support estimated savings through energy modeling or perhaps an engineering analysis with detailed calculations that assigns savings to the scope of work. Establishing a high confidence level in the estimated energy savings can help mitigate the severity of M&amp;amp;V, if not avoid it all together. Establishing estimated savings becomes a “negotiation” between the customer and the utility&lt;/p&gt; </description></item><item><title>Blog: JosieF</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/personal-announcements/b/josief/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 02:31:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:6594</guid><dc:creator>JosieF</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Blog: cuellranna</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/personal-announcements/b/cuellranna/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 12 May 2012 07:56:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:6592</guid><dc:creator>cuellranna</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Forum Post: Found Money with Mechanical Insulation Energy Assessment</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/managing_buildings/energy_efficiency/f/6230/p/9889/12811.aspx#12811</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 May 2012 19:05:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:12811</guid><dc:creator>Jim Park</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If you have process piping, HVAC piping, ducts and equipment that are not properly insulated or the insulation is damaged and not functioning the energy losses can be significant. My company can perform an appraisal of the condition and perform all repairs. In some instances the payback can be less than 1-2 years. The resulting data from the appraisal will help you get the capital for your project. This energy conservation measure is often overlooked in major energy projects but the savings can be significant.

Self-lubricating GRAPHALLOY®, a graphite/metal alloy, eliminates concern about bearing failures or possible flashing of CO2. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The ability to operate without additional lubrication is important in CO2 injection applications because CO2 has low lubricity. Standard metal wear parts rely on the lubricity of the liquid being pumped for proper operation so they are prone to failures in pumps used to inject CO2. In addition, due to high suction pressure required to keep CO2 as a dense phase liquid, flashing is always a possibility.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;CO2 injection in older, low flowing wells is becoming an increasingly popular method for permeating rock formations and forcing more oil to the surface. Many older wells still contain vast amounts of oil locked in the pores of rock layers deep underground. CO2 injection often releases more oil in older wells than can be released by water injection. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Use of self-lubricating, non-galling GRAPHALLOY® materials in pumps for CO2 service provides substantial cost savings by avoiding expensive downtime and field repairs caused by wear part failures,” said Eben Walker, General Manager of Graphite Metallizing Corporation. “GRAPHALLOY® is currently the material of choice for many oil field applications in North America and around the world.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;GRAPHALLOY® wear rings and bushings operate at longer intervals without the need for replacements or maintenance which helps reduce downtime and maintenance expenses. GRAPHALLOY® is an excellent choice for any application where service and maintenance tasks are cumbersome or difficult to perform. GRAPHALLOY® is a proven solution for even the most challenging plant maintenance and new equipment design applications.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For more information about GRAPHALLOY® products, visit &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.graphalloy.com/"&gt;http://www.graphalloy.com/&lt;/a&gt; or call 914-968-8400 or e-mail us at sales@graphalloy.com&lt;/p&gt; </description></item><item><title>Blog: Martyl9</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/personal-announcements/b/martyl9/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 May 2012 17:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:6590</guid><dc:creator>Martyl9</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Blog: Bill Miller</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/personal-announcements/b/bill_miller/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 May 2012 15:50:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:6589</guid><dc:creator>Bill Miller</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Blog: Cros65</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/personal-announcements/b/cros65/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 May 2012 15:34:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:6588</guid><dc:creator>Cros65</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Blog Post: Considering Electric Vehicles - Facility Management Grounds Management Feature</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/myfacilitiesnet_blogs/b/articles/archive/2012/05/03/considering-electric-vehicles-facility-management-grounds-management-feature.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 May 2012 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:12783</guid><dc:creator>Articles</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please use this page to post your comment(s).&lt;br /&gt;If you are not logged in, please &lt;a href="http://localhost:890/login.aspx?ReturnUrl="&gt;sign in&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a title="Join" href="http://www.facilitiesnet.com/visitorcenter/CreateUser.asp"&gt;join&lt;/a&gt; to comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facilitiesnet.com/groundsmanagement/article/Considering-Electric-Vehicles--13220"&gt;View this article on FacilitiesNet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Blog Post: Weighing Benefits and Drawbacks to Electrical Vehicle Specification - Facility Management Grounds Management Feature</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/myfacilitiesnet_blogs/b/articles/archive/2012/05/03/weighing-benefits-and-drawbacks-to-electrical-vehicle-specification-facility-management-grounds-management-feature.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 May 2012 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:12784</guid><dc:creator>Articles</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please use this page to post your comment(s).&lt;br /&gt;If you are not logged in, please &lt;a href="http://localhost:890/login.aspx?ReturnUrl="&gt;sign in&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a title="Join" href="http://www.facilitiesnet.com/visitorcenter/CreateUser.asp"&gt;join&lt;/a&gt; to comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facilitiesnet.com/groundsmanagement/article/Weighing-Benefits-and-Drawbacks-to-Electrical-Vehicle-Specification--13221"&gt;View this article on FacilitiesNet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Blog Post: Gauging Electrical Vehicle Performance - Facility Management Grounds Management Feature</title><link>http://my.facilitiesnet.com/myfacilitiesnet_blogs/b/articles/archive/2012/05/03/gauging-electrical-vehicle-performance-facility-management-grounds-management-feature.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 May 2012 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8cc9bc4f-6f4a-43a1-a627-f7a2930a1001:12785</guid><dc:creator>Articles</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please use this page to post your comment(s).&lt;br /&gt;If you are not logged in, please &lt;a href="http://localhost:890/login.aspx?ReturnUrl="&gt;sign in&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a title="Join" href="http://www.facilitiesnet.com/visitorcenter/CreateUser.asp"&gt;join&lt;/a&gt; to comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facilitiesnet.com/groundsmanagement/article/Gauging-Electrical-Vehicle-Performance--13222"&gt;View this article on FacilitiesNet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
