IPMVP: Energy Measurement and Verification

Using IPMVP methodologies unlocks the powerful combination of both verifying and maximizing the success of your energy-saving projects. IPMVP protocols are the gold standard for cost avoidance calculations, giving you confidence in your energy savings data. Reliably measure your progress, eliminate guesswork, and see a clear picture of the actual energy savings your conservation projects have achieved. Make data-driven decisions about future spend and where to reinvest the resources your energy saving projects have yielded.

Specify the energy conservation measures implemented, set your baseline and reporting period, include routine adjustments, and see visualizations of your energy savings achieved.

IPMVP Option B measures and calculates the impact of an individual project or improvement, like new lighting in a specific area. Measuring energy use before and after the change, along with things like weather conditions, helps you see the exact savings from that specific upgrade.

IPMVP Option C looks at an entire building’s energy use after multiple, systemic improvements have been made throughout the facility. This method compares energy use before and after the changes, and is used when you’ve made several changes, or if you don’t have detailed data for specific areas. This shows the overall impact of all your energy-saving efforts.
