M&V: The Foundation for Smarter Power Decisions
For decades, Measurement & Verification (M&V) has been a slow, manual, and resource-intensive process. Operators rely on spreadsheets, audits, and periodic measurements to track power behavior—meaning insights come too late to drive real-time decision-making.
But power management shouldn’t be a guessing game. Before you can optimize, you need visibility—and you need it now.
The Problem with Traditional M&V
Most data centers approach M&V in one of two ways:
1️⃣ Manually collecting and analyzing power data – A slow, error-prone process that can take weeks to deliver actionable insights.
2️⃣ Relying on outdated documentation and assumptions – Leading to over-provisioning, inefficiency, and uncertainty.
Neither approach gives operators the confidence to act decisively—which is why so many teams hesitate to optimize power at all.
The Solution: Standardized, Automated M&V
🔹 Now, M&V can be standardized and automated.
With Verdigris, M&V isn’t a disconnected, one-off process—it’s an always-on capability built directly into the software that’s tied to your electrical metering.
✅ Standardized, audit-ready reporting – Built on IPMVP & ASHRAE-grade models to ensure compliance and consistency across facilities.
✅ Built-in weather normalization – Automatically accounts for temperature variations, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
✅ Automated baseline recalculations – Ensures accurate savings estimates every time, adapting dynamically to operational changes.
✅ Faster decision-making – React immediately to performance deviations rather than waiting weeks for analysis.
From Visibility to Action
M&V isn’t just about measuring power—it’s about unlocking control. By eliminating the delays of traditional processes, Verdigris enables teams to:
✔️ See real-time power behavior as it happens
✔️ Act on data with confidence
✔️ Standardize M&V across all facilities
This is the foundation for true electrical intelligence—where power management becomes proactive, precise, and automated.
How are you currently measuring power in your data center? Are you still relying on spreadsheets and audits? Let’s talk about a better way.
