Genetic Improvement of Energy Usage is only as Reliable as the Measurements are Accurate

Energy has recently become an objective for Genetic Improvement. Measuring software energy use is complicated which might tempt us to use simpler measurements. However if we base the GI on inaccurate measurements we can not expect improvements. This paper seeks to highlight important issues when evaluating energy use of programs.
