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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade7
ARIMD Metering Program
• What to do with data?
– Value • Energy Reduction = Cost Savings
– Scale • 800 meters
– Time • Regular review
Answer: Evaluate Building Operations
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade8
ARIMD Metering Program
• 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

ARIMD Metering Program
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade11
ARIMD Metering Program
1. Night and weekend setbacks– Identified by a change in consumption patterns between
night, weekday, and weekend hours
No Setbacks Night and Weekend Setbacks
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade12
ARIMD Metering Program
2. Early start times – Identified by an increase in consumption before 0600 hrs
Poor Setbacks Early Start & Late Shutoff
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade13
ARIMD Metering Program
3. Late shut off times– Identified by a lack of reduction in consumption after
1900 hrs
Poor Setbacks Early Start & Late Shutoff
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade14
ARIMD Metering Program
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
Energy Exchange: Federal Sustainability for the Next Decade15
ARIMD Metering Program• Meters Grouped by RSC and Installation
– Finding Outliers

ARIMD Metering Program
• 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
