一些州表示，对建筑群改造项目的评估表明，只有大约三分之二的节约正在实现。现场监测用于帮助解释差异，并改进节省的工程估算。介绍了建筑监测方案设计的讨论，以验证改造节省的费用。强调监测改造效果而非最终用途的重要性。描述了一个将建筑监控技术应用于商业/工业照明回扣计划的示例。前20栋建筑的结果表明，仅实现了72.8%的公用事业估算节约。说明提高工程估算节约成本的最重要因素是准确确定改造前条件下的荧光镇流器类型以及建筑物中存在的荧光灯具类型。 关键词:监测、节能、现代化、建筑、照明、荧光灯、计算、商业、工业、美国引文:ASHRAE Trans。1992年，第98卷，第1部分，论文编号AN-92-7-3，874-880，图1，表7，参考文献。

States that evaluations of retrofit projects in populations of buildings have shown that only about two-thirds of the savings are being realised. Field monitoring is used to help explain the discrepancies and improve the engineering estimates of savings. Presents a discussion of building monitoring programme design for verifying the retrofit savings. Stresses the importance of monitoring the retrofit effect rather than the end use. Describes an example of the application of building monitoring techniques to a commercial/industrial lighting rebate programme. Results from the first 20 buildings indicated that only 72.8% of the utility-estimated savings were being realised. States the most important factors in improving engineering estimates of savings are an accurate determination of fluorescent ballast types in the pre-retrofit condition and the types of fluorescent fixtures that are present in the building.KEYWORDS: Monitoring, energy conservation, modernising, buildings, lighting, fluorescent lamps, calculating, commercial, industrial, USA
