Check AMS-II.E energy efficiency criterion

AMS-II.E requires demonstrable reductions in energy intensity for the targeted buildings.

check_applicability_energy_efficiency(
  baseline_data,
  project_data,
  energy_col = "baseline_total_energy_mwh",
  project_energy_col = "project_total_energy_mwh",
  service_col = "service_level_indicator",
  tolerance = 0.1
)

Arguments

baseline_data

Tibble containing baseline energy and service indicators.

project_data

Tibble containing project energy and service indicators.

energy_col

Baseline column storing total energy consumption (MWh).

project_energy_col

Project column storing total energy consumption (MWh).

service_col

Column storing the service proxy (e.g. floor area). Must be present in both datasets.

tolerance

Minimum fractional reduction in energy intensity required to satisfy the criterion.

Value

A logical scalar indicating whether the intensity reduction meets the tolerance threshold.

Examples

baseline <- tibble::tibble(total_energy_mwh = c(220, 195), service_proxy = c(4.2, 3.9))
project <- tibble::tibble(total_energy_mwh = c(150, 138), service_proxy = c(4.2, 3.9))
check_applicability_energy_efficiency(
  baseline,
  project,
  energy_col = "total_energy_mwh",
  project_energy_col = "total_energy_mwh",
  service_col = "service_proxy"
)
