Tech Brief: Energy Metering

Washington State and Seattle Energy Codes now require energy metering beyond a single utility meter for commercial construction projects over 50,000 square feet (state code) and 20,000 square feet (in the city of Seattle). This brief provides an overview of Sweek Engineers’ recommendations on effective approaches to energy metering.


Facility Systems Manual

SCE is focused on helping facility management teams access accurate, useful information regarding their buildings’ energy efficiency features. We produce Facility Systems Manuals that are customized for each facility and include only the information that it easy to exclude or overlook in the typical operations and maintenance documentation.

System Diagrams & Signage

Another critical aspect of our commissioning services is the installation of mechanical room signage for use by facility staff and maintenance vendors. Illustrative instruction sheets are intended to convey key design features and provide important settings and schedules.
