For most projects, the appropriate evaluation protocol is to verify installation and proper selection of default values. For projects using customer specific data for open variables, the appropriate evaluation protocol is to verify installation and proper application of TRM protocol along with verification of open variables. The Pennsylvania Evaluation Framework provides specific guidelines and requirements for evaluation procedures. Based on Modeling Analysis 2014. Nexant’s eQuest Measure Name Controls: Guest Room Occupancy Sensor Target Sector Commercial and Industrial Establishments Measure Unit Occupancy Sensor Unit Energy Savings Variable Unit Peak Demand Reduction Variable Measure Life 15 years This protocol applies to the installation of a control system in hotel guest rooms to automatically adjust the temperature setback during unoccupied periods. Savings are based on the management of the guest set temperatures and controlling the HVAC unit for various room’s occupancy modes. The savings are per guestroom controlled, rather than per sensor, for suites.
