Accountability metering is a term applied to the use of meters and sensors to make building occupants accountable for the energy use in all or part of one or more facilities.  Most building owners and managers have established operational procedures (e.g., turning off lights) to minimize the waste of energy in their facilities.  In most cases, it is difficult, if not impossible, to determine in a timely manner whether procedures are being followed or whether there are equipment failures that are cauing higher energy usage.

The first step in any energy management program (and frequently the step with the best return on investment) is a well-designed program to sub-meter energy usage to provide a clear picture of where energy is being used and to determine whether existing procedures are being followed  to minimize energy usage.  This web site area will provide the user with insights into the benefits of accountability metering and typical installation examples and costs.
