To access the M&V Report, click on “M&V Reports” under the Reports section in the sidebar.
-
M&V stands for Measurement & Verification. The primary goal of this module is to automate the reporting process.
-
This report is designed for teams to generate reports based on different timeframes—yearly, quarterly, or monthly—depending on the project’s needs. After generating these reports, teams can review them and submit them to end customers.
-
Reports can be created using Option C, which depends on UBMS data.
-
When you click on the M&V Report, a button will appear. Click on this button to start the step-by-step process of creating the report.

1.1 The first step in creating a report involves defining key project details such as the project name, project cost, electricity utility tariff rate, and water utility tariff rate.
-
You can also specify the project duration. Additionally, there are two dropdown menus to select the project and the M&V type.
– A description box is available where you can add project-related notes. This box supports multiple features, including adding images, documents, and rich text formatting such as bold and underline.
Validations are in place to ensure all required fields are filled. The ‘Next’ button remains inactive until all mandatory fields are completed.
-
On the right side of the page, a step-by-step progress view is displayed, showing which steps have been completed. However, you cannot click to navigate back to a previous step.
2.1: Click on the ‘Next’ Button to Proceed to the Next Step – Link Meter
-
In this section, you can link multiple meters. All linked meters will be displayed under the baseline period.
-
If you select two electricity meters from different sources, the baseline period will show the combined value of both meters.
-
You can select all fuel types at the same time.
3.1: Click on the ‘Next’ Button to Proceed to the Next Step – ECM Implemented
-
Link relevant energy data to each Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) implemented or planned for the project.
-
You can create and delete multiple ECMs for documentation purposes. To create an ECM, follow the steps below:
-
-
Enter the name of the ECM.
-
Specify the ECM duration according to the project timeline.
-
Enter the estimated savings.
-
Add a description, and click the “Save” button to proceed to the next step.
-
3.2: Baseline Period
-
Define the baseline period by selecting dates that reflect typical energy usage before implementing ECMs for the project.
-
All linked meters are displayed during the baseline period. When an invoice is uploaded for a specific meter, its consumption values are shown in the chart.
-
If you select two different electricity meters, only one combined entry is shown, and the chart displays the total consumption from both meters.
-
This chart includes interactive features such as zooming and the ability to view data for specific time ranges (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or all data).
-
You can also add a description. All fields are mandatory, and the ‘Next’ button will remain inactive until all required information is provided. Once completed, you can proceed by clicking the ‘Next’ button.
4.1: Next Step – Reporting Period
-
Specify the dates that represent the monitoring period after ECM implementation. This is the timeframe used for reporting results.
-
You can set the reporting period and view the corresponding data, including consumption values.
–
You can also add a description. All fields are mandatory, and the ‘Next’ button will remain inactive until all required information is provided. Once completed, you can proceed by clicking the ‘Next’ button.
5.1: Routine Adjustment
-
Select variables for predicting energy consumption and validate their completeness and correlation using graphs.
To Create an Independent Variable:
-
Click on the “New Independent Variable” button.
-
Enter the desired name for the variable.
-
Select the appropriate data type from the dropdown.
-
Choose the relevant station from the dropdown menu.
-
Add a unit for the variable.
-
You can create multiple independent variables and also delete them if needed.
To View Real-Time Data:
-
Click on the “Data” menu.
-
Then select “Real-Time Data”.
-
You will now see the values displayed for the CDD variable in real time.
-
The date range for these charts spans from the start of the baseline period to the end of the reporting period.
-
The second button is “Correlation”. When clicked, it displays the relationship between the independent variable and the meter.
-
Enter the description and click the ‘Next’ button.
6.1 Non-Routine Adjustment
Define non-routine adjustments to account for events not captured by standard predictions.
-
In the first section, there is a description box where you can add details related to faults.
-
All faults identified during the reporting period are displayed. An ‘Analyze’ button is available; when clicked, it redirects you to the analysis page where you can view detailed information about a specific fault.
-
If no faults are available for the selected reporting period, this section will appear blank. However, you must still add a description related to faults to proceed to the next step.
-
You can select faults and link them to the corresponding meter. The selected faults will also be displayed in the final report.
Steps to Create a Non-Routine Adjustment (NRA):
-
Click the ‘New NRA’ button to start creating a new Non-Routine Adjustment.
-
Click the ‘No Name’ button to view the steps for creating an NRA.
-
Enter a name for the NRA.
-
Add a factor by selecting the appropriate operator (e.g., + or −).
-
Enter the required data for the selected factor.
-
Choose one option from each of the two selection fields labelled “Both of Us” (please clarify if this label is different).
-
Add a description to provide more details about the NRA.
-The value added in the factor—whether added to or subtracted from the actual value—depends on your selection: either for the entire reporting period or for a specific time window.
-
You can delete an NRA and also add multiple NRAs if needed.
7.1 Model
-
Define the model to estimate reporting period consumption as if ECMs were not implemented.
To generate a model, follow these steps:
-
Select any independent variable.
-
Click on ‘Generate Model’.
Note: If you select only the CDD variable to generate the model, the resulting equation will be the same as the correlation equation shown in the Routine Adjustment step.
-
In the model section, there is a rule that the user is not required to enter a value. However, if they choose to do so, the value must be entered in both fields: Intercept and the Independent Variable.
–
-
This chart displays the relationship between actual and predicted consumption. The corresponding equation is shown alongside the graph, and a description can be added.
-
Clicking the RESET button will clear all values.
-
When you select only the CDD variable and view the model, the displayed equation corresponds exactly to that selection.
8.1 Savings
-
Evaluate energy savings for the reporting period by comparing actual consumption with estimated usage, incorporating routine and non-routine adjustments.
Below the savings chart, there are several statistical values. Let’s discuss them one by one.
1. Estimated Consumption (without ECM) – Reporting Period:
-
This value is the sum of all predicted values for the reporting period.
-
The AED value is calculated as:
Estimated Consumption × Utility Tariff Rate (given on the first page).
2. Actual Consumption – Reporting Period:
-
This value is the sum of all actual consumption values for the reporting period.
-
The AED value is calculated as:
Actual Consumption × Utility Tariff Rate (given on the first page).
3. Savings Per Year:
-
This value is derived by subtracting the estimated consumption (without ECM) from the actual consumption during the reporting period:
Actual Consumption − Estimated Consumption (without ECM).
Click on the Next button to proceed to the next step, which is data analytics.
-
Set the monitoring period (post-ECM) and optionally link energy data now or during the Reporting Period step.
-
First, you need to select the equipment and then the corresponding data points. After that, click on the “Analyze Selected Data” button to view real-time data.
-
In this section, you can select multiple pieces of equipment and view their real-time data.
-On the graph, there is a three-line sidebar icon. By clicking on it, you can access options to download the graph in PNG or JPEG format
At the bottom of the page, there is a table displaying the selected data, showing the minimum and maximum values
After adding the description, click the ‘Next’ button to proceed
