AMP and MDMS

• Army Metering Program (AMP) - 2010– Army Reserve Portion

• 789 Meters Installed on 410 Facilities • 393 Meters Reporting on 212 Facilities (FEB 2015)

– Electricity– Natural Gas– Water

• Army Meter Data Management System (MDMS)– AR Meters 100% connected & reporting to

central location by 30 DEC, 2015


ARIMD Metering Program

• What to do with data?

– Value • Energy Reduction = Cost Savings

– Scale • 800 meters

– Time • Regular review

Answer: Evaluate Building Operations



• Army Reserve Process

– Download 15 min interval data from MDMS– Process data– Upload data to PNNL server– Perform data analytics – Generate graphics– Analyzed meters in groups and individually– Write Meter Data Evaluation Report– Issue ELAS Tasker– Track responses to Tasker & repeat



Four Operational Characteristics

1. Does the building have proper night and weekend setbacks?

2. Are the start times appropriate?

3. Are the shut off times appropriate?

4. Does the building have a high base load?



• Electric Meter



1. Night and weekend setbacks– Identified by a change in consumption patterns between

night, weekday, and weekend hours

No Setbacks Night and Weekend Setbacks



2. Early start times – Identified by an increase in consumption before 0600 hrs

Poor Setbacks Early Start & Late Shutoff



3. Late shut off times– Identified by a lack of reduction in consumption after

1900 hrs

Poor Setbacks Early Start & Late Shutoff



4. High Base Load– Identified by the baseline consumption during

unoccupied hours compared to either:• The occupied consumption periods, or• Other buildings in the same RSC/Installation


ARIMD Metering Program• Meters Grouped by RSC and Installation

– Finding Outliers

• Challenges

– Manual process for large number of meters (400-800)• Download, Process, Upload, Perform analytics, Visualize,

Analyze, Write report, Issue Tasker, Track, Repeat• Team of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 people

– Determining where and how to direct change in building operations

– Who has the authority to make changes to the operating schedule in the building controls systems?• AFOS• PM Contractor• Building occupants

• Water Meter

LEAK!



• Water Meter

• Looks like Natural Gas Meter

• Why?

• Boiler Feed• Boiler Setpoints



• Natural Gas Meter

• On/Off switch?

• Certainly no night/weekend setbacks!



• Natural Gas Meter

• Maintaining Constant Setpoint



• Electric Meter

• Parking lot lights?



• Electric Meter

• Malfunctioning Meter
