Write an energy evidence brief without unsupported savings
See this course’s project requirements
A fictional building-energy brief with source/unit checks, whole-year site energy, floor-area intensity, fair comparison limits, anomaly questions and an evidence-based monitoring proposal.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Save audited annual energy inventory and excluded-meter list; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save fuel-specific conversion ledger and site total; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save site EUI with boundary/period/no score label; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save bounded building comparison and needed peer data; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save source/site scenario comparison with factor limitations; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Save building energy inventory/conversion/EUI/source/comparison brief; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The final packet uses the supplied task-specific constraints and all six records agree.
- Every result can be traced to an identifier, input, calculation or stated decision rule.
- Changed-case practice updates dependent records and keeps holds or uncertainty visible.
- The packet states the learner role, authority boundary and specific next verification needed before real work.

The idea in everyday life
Original fictional workplace practice; paper or a local document is sufficient. The rules and records below are supplied for this exercise, not asserted universal workplace policy. Aspen baseline 1,282,400 site kBtu/current 1,264,160 same 20,000 ft², annual periods. Current electric 180,000 kWh /gas 6,500 therm; baseline 200,000/6,000. Electric down 10%, gasup 8.333%; net energy down 18,240 kBtu . Weather/use changes unknown.
A benchmark brief explains energy boundary, conversion, intensity, comparison limits and next audit question; it does not prescribe physical retrofits or claim measured savings from a simulation.
Write an energy evidence brief without unsupported savings — worked practice
A benchmark brief explains energy boundary, conversion, intensity, comparison limits and next audit question; it does not prescribe physical retrofits or claim measured savings from a simulation.
Aspen baseline 1,282,400 site kBtu/current 1,264,160 same 20,000 ft², annual periods. Current electric 180,000 kWh /gas 6,500 therm; baseline 200,000/6,000. Electric down 10%, gasup 8.333%; net energy down 18,240 kBtu . Weather/use changes unknown. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.
1. Step 1
Calculate current EUI and site energy delta.
You should see: 63.208EUI; down 18,240 site kBtu .
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
2. Step 2
Compare fuel directions without hiding gas increase.
You should see: Electric down 20,000 kWh ; gasup 500 therm.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
3. Step 3
State weather/use and measurement limits.
You should see: Cannot attribute delta to an unperformed retrofit or guarantee savings.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
4. Step 4
Save building energy inventory/conversion/EUI/source/comparison brief.
You should see: Recommend qualified review of complete period/use/meter data; no physical work instructions.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
What to finish
Save building energy inventory/conversion/EUI/source/comparison brief; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Watch for this
Advertising unmeasured savings or recommending learner physical work from a limited energy benchmark.
How can I tell I understand it?
Using the supplied identifiers, I can save building energy inventory/conversion/EUI/source/comparison brief. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
