Metered Energy Efficiency Transaction Structure in Ultra-Efficient New Construction: Pay-For-Performance at the Bullitt Center in Seattle, WA (2016)

The Metered Energy Efficiency Transaction Structure (MEETS) is an unprecedented approach designed to achieve deep energy efficiency improvements in commercial buildings. Seattle City Light piloted MEETS in Seattle’s Bullitt Center, yielding extraordinary energy savings to date. This paper explains how the program operates, how the baseline for a new building was modeled, and how the DeltaMeter® (which calculates savings) functions.
