2. Site Survey

The site survey consists of visiting selected pilot locations to evaluate equipment for compatibility and operational condition. 

3. Establish Baseline

Numerous variables play a role in these kinds of energy projects. In order to ensure accuracy, Madison connects metering equipment to the record baseline energy consumption at the circuit level.

4. Capture Performance

After recording one week of baseline energy consumption, Madison installs its technologies on the equipment being considered for retrofit upgrades. Metering continues.

5. Decommission and Analysis

After the second week of metering, meters are uninstalled, and the data downloaded. That data is then sent to 3rd party engineers for analysis and reporting.
