M&T is a process used to monitor and reduce utility costs as a continuous improvement cycle. It sits at the heart of a strategic energy management approach that seeks to measure and maintain performance by:
Analyzing the historical energy performance of buildings
Setting energy reduction targets
Controlling current energy performance in real time
Projecting future energy budgets
M&T provides energy managers with feedback on operations and energy management project outcomes. A comprehensive M&T plan helps you predict future energy use and trends which enables you to better prepare for budgeting and future consumption. M&T also gives you an early warning of unexpected consumption and enables you to implement corrective actions.
