Revolutionizing Energy Management: LF Energy Unveils OpenEEMeter and SAM
Among the suite of groundbreaking projects under LF Energy’s umbrella, two initiatives, OpenEEMeter and the Super Advanced Meter (SAM), exemplify the organization’s commitment to leveraging open source technology for the betterment of energy metering and management. OpenEEMeter, an open-source toolkit, offers a standardized approach to calculating normalized metered energy consumption (NMEC) and assessing avoided energy use. This toolkit facilitates more accurate and transparent energy savings calculations, crucial for energy efficiency programs and policies. The recent release of OpenEEMeter version 4.0 introduces significant improvements, including dramatically reduced bias in energy consumption models and enhanced processing speeds, marking a significant step forward in the project’s evolution.
