dc.description.abstract | Measurement and verification (M&V) is fundamental in determining
the impact of energy efficiency (EE) interventions. However,
accurately quantifying the EE savings on complex industrial systems
can present several technical challenges. It is of critical importance
that these challenges be practically addressed within regulatory
requirements when applying for tax-based EE incentives. In this
study, the key uncertainties affecting the M&V of Section 12L EE tax
incentive applications are identified. A novel approach provides
practical guidelines to manage and mitigate uncertainty. This
approach ensures that reported savings are a fair and compliant
reflection of the actual savings achieved. The presented case
studies show that uncertainty can affect up to 30 per cent of
reported savings. This emphasises the significant impact of
uncertainty, and quantifies the benefit of compliant uncertainty
management. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insight into
the practical implementation of tax-based directives intended to
stimulate sustainable development | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Meet en verifieer (M&V) is fundamenteel om impak van energie-doeltreffendheid intervensies te bepaal. Die akkurate kwantifisering van die energie besparings op komplekse industriële stelsels kan egter verskeie tegniese uitdagings bied. Dit is van kritieke belang dat hierdie uitdagings prakties aangespreek word binne regulatoriese vereistes van belasting gebaseerde aansporingsprogramme. In hierdie studie word die kern onsekerhede geïdentifiseer wat die Seksie 12L belasting aansporingprogram beïnvloed. 'n Nuwe benadering wat gebaseer is op praktiese riglyne word voorgestel om hierdie onsekerhede te bestuur. Die benadering verseker dat gerapporteerde besparings 'n regverdige weerspieëling weergee van die werklike besparings wat behaal word. Die implementering van die benadering op vier gevallestudies toon dat onsekerheid tot 30 persent van gerapporteerde besparings kan beïnvloed. Dit beklemtoon die beduidende impak van onsekerheid en motiveer dus die belangrike rol van onsekerheidsbestuur. Hierdie studie bied waardevolle insig tot die praktiese implementering van belasting gebaseerde programme wat daarop gemik is om volhoubare ontwikkeling te stimuleer | |
