  • data for development the case for an indian Energy Information administration
    Energy research and social science, 2017
    Co-Authors: Varun Rai, Rahul Tongia, Gireesh Shrimali, Nikit Abhyankar
    Abstract:

    Abstract Energy in India has a big data problem – the world’s second most populous and fastest growing large economy does not have a singular central body in charge of maintaining and disseminating India’s Energy data, let alone analyzing it. Different pockets of data come from different bodies, some statutory, but these lack granularity and timeliness, even before we get to the challenges of data completeness, accuracy, and differences in methodology and assumptions. We propose that India should create a national Energy Information Agency – an Indian EIA or “indEIA.” India urgently needs a dedicated, central agency to collect, collate, disseminate, and facilitate the analysis of all essential Energy-related data. An entity like indEIA will be critical in helping India leverage the creative powers of the national and international analyst community to provide reliable, cost-effective, and clean Energy to its citizens. Our proposal envisions indEIA as the primary vehicle for curating and maintaining India’s Energy data.

    Abstract:

    We propose that India should create a national Energy Information Agency – an Indian EIA or “indEIA.” India urgently needs a dedicated, central agency to collect, collate, disseminate, and facilitate the analysis of all essential Energy-related data. There are a number of government support programs, for everything from renewable Energy to electricity access, in the billions of dollars. Their efficacy is rarely understood, in part because of data limitations. An entity like indEIA will be critical in helping India leverage the creative powers of the national and international research community to provide reliable, cost-effective, and clean Energy to its citizens. In addition, granular data can enable the industry as well as policymakers to move towards more customized, dynamic, and nimble solutions, instead of relying on averaged, aggregated, and nongranular time-series or spatial data. Thus our proposal envisions indEIA as the primary vehicle for curating and maintaining India’s Energy data, a vital national (and global) asset.

  • Building Energy Information systems: synthesis of costs, savings, and best-practice uses
    Energy Efficiency, 2016
    Co-Authors: Jessica Granderson
    Abstract:

    Building Energy Information systems (EIS) are a powerful customer-facing monitoring and analytical technology that can enable up to 20 % site Energy savings for buildings. Few technologies are as heavily marketed, but in spite of their potential, EIS remain an underadopted emerging technology. One reason is the lack of Information on purchase costs and associated Energy savings. While insightful, the growing body of individual case studies has not provided industry the Information needed to establish the business case for investment. Vastly different Energy and economic metrics prevent generalizable conclusions. This paper addresses three common questions concerning EIS use: what are the costs, what have users saved, and which best practices drive deeper savings? We present a large-scale assessment of the value proposition for EIS use based on data from over two-dozen organizations. Participants achieved year-over-year median site and portfolio savings of 17 and 8 %, respectively; they reported that this performance would not have been possible without the EIS. The median 5-year cost of EIS software ownership (up-front and ongoing costs) was calculated to be $1800 per monitoring point (kilowatt meter points were most common), with a median portfolio-wide implementation size of approximately 200 points. In this paper, we present an analysis of the relationship between key implementation factors and achieved Energy reductions. Extent of efficiency projects, building Energy performance prior to EIS installation, depth of metering, and duration of EIS were strongly correlated with greater savings. We also identify the best practices use of EIS associated with greater Energy savings.

  • Building Energy Information systems: user case studies
    Energy Efficiency, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jessica Granderson, Mary Ann Piette, Girish Ghatikar
    Abstract:

    Measured Energy performance data are essential to national efforts to improve building efficiency, as evidenced in recent benchmarking mandates, and in a growing body of work that indicates the value of permanent monitoring and Energy Information feedback. This paper presents case studies of Energy Information systems (EIS) at four enterprises and university campuses, focusing on the attained Energy savings, and successes and challenges in technology use and integration. EIS are broadly defined as performance monitoring software, data acquisition hardware, and communication systems to store, analyze, and display building Energy Information. Case investigations showed that the most common Energy savings and instances of waste concerned scheduling errors, measurement and verification, and inefficient operations. Data quality is critical to effective EIS use, and is most challenging at the subsystem or component level, and with non-electric Energy sources. Sophisticated prediction algorithms may not be well understood but can be applied quite effectively, and sites with custom benchmark models or metrics are more likely to perform analyses external to the EIS. Finally, resources and staffing were identified as a universal challenge, indicating a need to identify additional models of EIS use that extend beyond exclusive in-house use, to analysis services.
