EMIS ReportDesign-Prelim 2020sep11 - Flipbook - Page 25
Study participants with EMIS made improvements to
their buildings, achieving a median second-year energy
savings and ranges6 as summarized below and shown
by year in Table 4.
EIS: 3 percent ($0.03/sq ft) savings range:
–15% to 22%
FDD: 9 percent ($0.24/sq ft) savings range:
1% to 28%

3. SMART ENERGY ANALYTICS CAMPAIGN RESULTS
Tables 4 and 5 show median savings since the
EMIS was installed, in percentage and dollars per
square foot per year. In some cases, the EMIS had
been installed for more years than the energy data
were provided. For savings in Year 3 and beyond, the
savings reported are not necessarily attributable to the
EMIS, therefore these data are shown in darker gray.

Median savings ($/sq ft/yr)
Negative savings (an increase in energy use) occurred for two organizations with EIS in the second year after installation. Negative energy
savings is likely attributable to changes in building use or additions to building floor area.
