Target calculation methods
Targets set a reduction goal against a baseline. EnerG offers three reduction paths.
Set targets on Portfolio targets.
Weather normalization
Weather normalization trains regression models that adjust usage for heating and cooling conditions. Configure these settings on Baseline analysis configurations.Distribution curves
Distribution curves spread a measure’s annual savings across months. EnerG provides defaults derived from degree-day logic, or you build a custom curve whose monthly factors sum to 1.000.
Assign curves on Capital planning.
Accruals
Accruals estimate cost for months without final bills.Model accuracy thresholds
M&V and forecast models report fit with three metrics. A model below your thresholds flags as not acceptable.
Set the threshold in the model wizard, or let EnerG use MAPE as the default. See Energy modeling and M&V.
