Unofficial ABGR Assessment

Today I've been to a business park to carry out the preliminary assessment on energy use of one of the buildings.

I've talk to the Operations Manager of the premises. It's somehow "interesting" to talk to people with "hands on" experience to the services, etc. in buildings.

I can see his enthusiasm to help me out to do the energy assessment, maybe a little too "hot headed".

But in doing ABGR, the actual assessment is not the most difficult part.

The most difficult part is to gather the information necessary to get a proper rating as required by the ABGR protocol.


And for this one, it would be to gather the energy bills from ALL tenants and their cooperation to provide their occupancy hours when 20% of people is there in the morning and when only 20% of people is remaining in the office.

I've been through this with another project. Amazingly, it took weeks or even months to gather the info. And by the time the last info comes in, the first info could have been expired.

We'll see how good or bad this building is later.
