Level 1/Monitoring & Targeting (M&T)Baselines & Energy Signatures8 / 13Baselines & Signatures CheckQuiz on baselines, energy signatures, and change decomposition.5 min read · Jacob Willis, Net Zero LeadKnowledge check1. An energy baseline is:A normalised reference of consumption against which change is measuredThe lowest consumption the building could theoretically achieve with perfect operationThe design consumption stated in the building's original specThe consumption recorded on the coldest day of the year2. An energy signature relates:Baseload consumption to the building's floor areaConsumption to external drivers like temperature or productionA site's consumption to the industry benchmark for its sectorEach meter reading to the tariff being paid at the time3. A regression analysis on energy data helps you:Forecast future fuel prices from historical billsQuantify how much a change in a driver affects consumptionIdentify which department is responsible for the wasteCheck whether the utility has applied the correct unit rates4. When decomposing a change in consumption, you separate:Fixed standing charges from variable unit chargesHeating consumption from cooling consumptionReal savings from the effects of weather, production or occupancyThe old equipment's share of consumption from the newly installed equipment's shareCheck answers0 of 4 answered← PreviousDecomposing Changes: What Changed & WhyNext →Setting Realistic Targets
