Static Factors
Facility Energy Solutions / IPMVP
Static Factors are the characteristics of a facility which affect Energy Consumption and Demand, within the
defined Measurement Boundary, that are not expected to change, and were therefore not included as
independent variables. If they change, Non-routine Adjustments need to be calculated to account for these
changes. Note: Those characteristics may include fixed, environmental, operational and maintenance
characteristics.
Depending on the project, some of the items included may be static factors, independent variables included in
the models, or parameters affected by ECMs.
