A method and related system for determining energy savings that result
from improvements made to a structure includes auditing the structure
before the improvements are made to create a mockup of a section of the
unimproved structure. The structure is then fully improved, and the
mockup is disposed near a region of the improved structure that is to be
monitored. The mockup may be thermally isolated from the improved region.
An energy-related value, such as temperature, is then measured from the
mockup and from the improved region of the structure. The mockup provides
a baseline value, while the improved region provides a post-improvement
value. Utilizing these measured values, the energy savings resulting from
the improvement made to the structure can be determined.
