6.2 LMGI Indicators
6.2.1 Introduction
Given the complexity of the issue, many different quantitative indicators
have been developed to describe LMGI (Salom et al. , 2011; Verbruggen,
2011). These indicators permit evaluating the impact of adopting advanced
control or incorporating energy storage devices, and allow making
comparisons between buildings, between operation strategies, or
performance changes at different days, months or years. The indicators
described here refer to buildings using electricity as their only energy
carrier.
Figure 6.4 illustrates the relevant on-site energy flows used to calculate
LMGI indicators, as well as the symbols used to represent them in this
document ( Table 6.1 ) .
