The main goal of Monitoring & Targeting is to:Turn meter data into continuous energy improvementProve to tenants that their bills are calculated fairlyRecord consumption accurately for the annual accountsReplace the need for periodic energy audits entirely2. Normalisation in M&T means:Smoothing anomalies out of the data before reporting itBringing an abnormal building back to standard operationAdjusting consumption for drivers like weather so comparisons are fairCalibrating every meter on the site against a single reference standard once each year3. Meter data should be collected:Continuously and automatically, but reviewed in detail no more than once each yearOnly when a problem is already suspectedAnnually, when the utility statement arrivesFrequently (weekly, daily or half-hourly) so trends show early4.
