| EVO FY2006 Annual Report - Highlights |
| |
| Energy efficiency is recognized as one of the cleanest and most cost-effective “sources” of energy. However, in order for efficiency to be considered a reliable resource, its energy savings, including the persistence of savings, must be verifiable and project transactions costs must be kept to reasonable levels. If energy efficiency is to realize its full potential, facility owners and operators, service companies, consultants, contractors and financiers must adopt common technical, financial and legal standards that guide the measurement and verification (M&V) of savings and other aspects of energy efficiency business transactions. The Efficiency Valuation Organization’s (EVO) mission is to develop and promote the use of standardized protocols, methods and tools to quantify and manage the performance risks and benefits associated with end-use energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water efficiency business transactions. Highlights from EVO’s FY2006 Annual Report demonstrate that the organization is fulfilling that mission. |

| IPMVP Impact Assessment Report |

"Tracing the Evolution and Assessing IPMVP's Impact on the Energy Services Sector”
The US Department of Energy undertook the development of IPMVP 10 years ago as a market transformation exercise to help promote investments in the energy services sector. It sought the cooperation of and succeeded in getting the support of key stakeholders to develop a measurement and verification protocol based on consensus and the latest technical knowledge available in the field of measurement and verification of energy savings. Three editions later, use of IPMVP or its application has become a de-facto standard in almost all energy efficiency projects where payments to the contractors or service providers is based on the energy savings. IPMVP provides standard measurement and verification (M&V) terminology and defines four M&V options to quantify energy and water savings. |
