ENERGY
Energy
Electricity consumption, demand, equipment load, operating hours and necessary environmental or production conditions.
CASE STUDY METHODOLOGY
Make Every Result Traceable to Its Data Source
Case verification is not about converting every improvement into one percentage. It clearly explains what was measured, how it was measured, what was compared and what the result means under comparable conditions.
BASELINE · MEASUREMENT · RESULTS01 · DEFINE
Define the Problem and Comparison Baseline First
Before a case begins, confirm the site, equipment, system boundary, operating conditions and problem to be improved. Without a baseline, a single post-deployment value is not interpreted directly as an improvement.
The baseline must be reasonably comparable with subsequent data. Material differences in load, weather, operating hours, production processes or other conditions must be recorded.
02 · MEASURE
Measurement Design Comes Before Result Calculation
Different technologies use different indicators, but all follow the same recording principle: location, period, tool, frequency and conditions.
WATER / SYSTEM
Water and Systems
Water-side conditions, equipment status, maintenance records, heat exchange and available operating data.
THERMAL
Thermal Management
Fixed measurement locations, surface temperature, ambient temperature, equipment load and observation period.
CARBON
Carbon Impact
Requires emission factors, calculation boundaries, periods and methods in addition to activity data.
03 · CLASSIFY
Measured, Calculated and Estimated Data Are Not Mixed
Website cases identify the nature of each data point to prevent estimates from being presented as direct measurements.
Obtained directly from on-site instruments, bills, measurement devices or traceable records.
Calculated from known data using a defined formula, with the formula and parameter sources retained.
Derived from assumptions or extrapolation and presented only as an estimate, never relabeled as measured.
04 · INTERPRET
Interpret Results within Applicable Conditions and Boundaries
Result statements include comparison conditions, data type and limitations so site-specific outcomes are not treated as universal guarantees.
Confirm reasonable comparability of load, environment, operating hours and process conditions.
State the applicable equipment, site, period, method and limitations.
Present operating, financial and carbon impacts using their respective data and calculation methods.
MEASUREMENT BY DESIGN
Design the Measurement before Starting Deployment
Establishing the comparison baseline and data requirements before deployment helps connect operating, financial and sustainability results.
