Assignment B:

Technical Report: Implementing Energy Saving Measures

You are required to analyse the energy related time series data from a non domestic building and to produce a technical report identifying the energy saving opportunities.

This will be:

One DeMontfort University Building from the list provided. Energy data will be provided, but your task is to visit the public areas of the building, and conduct your own brief ‘walk through' energy survey, to look for any energy saving opportunities.

Note: Less physically able students, or students unable to attend the City Campus due to e.g. Illness should contact the module leader, and may study a City Council Building. Some students e.g. part time, may have access to a building with suitable data to analyse in place of the DMU building. If this is the case, contact the module leader.

DeMontfort University Buildings

You will conduct a basic ‘walk through' energy survey, pay attention to the building upkeep, construction, and any factors you can see which may affect energy use.

Follow the safety procedure at all times.

You may take photographs if you wish, but sketches will be treated as equally valid when marking.

Based on the information available for each building you will produce a technical report describing the potential energy saving opportunities. The data is "real" data and may contain small gaps. This report will contain the relevant graphs etc that describe your approach and your findings.

Data will include degree day data, electricity, gas, water (only where the data are relevant to certain sites) and for at least a twelve-month period. This data will be based on half hourly data from the buildings.

You should draw conclusions from analysing the data, i.e. what features are of interest? Why? You should also take note of other information about the building to identify the most appropriate recommendations for further action.

The report should describe the analysis techniques and the results obtained for all the buildings. This report is designed for the energy manager responsible for the buildings that you have investigated. That is, it should be a technical report and give the reader confidence in your analysis techniques.

Learning outcomes
Successful completion of this coursework will demonstrate:
• Systematic understanding and critical awareness of the concept of the degree day and it use by energy managers.
• Ability to analyse time series data and identify potential energy saving opportunities using regression based analysis techniques.
• Critical evaluation of how monthly and half hourly data can analysed.
• Ability to communicate in a clear, concise and appropriate style for a postgraduate technical report.
