How to Develop a Sustainable Energy Action Plan - Guidebook
This edition published in 2010 is from the EU initiative "Covenant of Mayors". It recognizes IPMVP as an international set of standardized procedures for the measurement and verification (M&V) of
savings in energy efficiency projects. It references EVO website as IPMVP website where further information on energy measurement can be found. Introduction to the Building Energy Efficiency Programme
The London Development Agency has specified that energy savings achieved under the Building Energy Efficiency Programme (BEEP) will be verified and monitored using IPMVP. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency, India refers IPMVP in their DSM program website
Unlocking Energy Efficiency in the U.S. Economy by McKinsey & Company, July 2009
On page 107 in the printed report, it identifies the need to achieve "appropriate" evaluation, measurement and verification (EM&V). Interestingly it wisely notes that: "providing a "perfect" EM&V system is not possible; instead, a "sufficient" EM&V system" is needed.
The report further describes that "sufficient" EM&V should be:
a) consistent (internally consistent and stable over time);
b) simple in design (to balance value against complexity and cost); and
c) involve both measurement of energy consumption and review of activities undertaken.
IPMVP's roles is correctly understood. IPMVP is described as a "shared foundation for EM&V" which might provide the consistent methodology upon which energy efficiency program managers can build.?

Breaking Down the Tower of Babel by Rob Watson, Reuters - USA.
The article discusses the neglect of green buildings that have been allowed to "drift" into inefficiency, or never actually begin to operate as designed, and explains how IPMVP is part of the remedy. Here?s a bit of it: ?Research by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory recognized that buildings can lose up to 20 percent of their savings post-retrofit without proper monitoring, which concerned many utilities at the height of the first wave of demand-side management programs in the late '80s. LBNL recommended the development of a protocol to ensure that ongoing building performance was staying close to the expected baseline. The Measurement and Verification Guideline for Energy Efficiency and Demand-Side Management (EEDSM) Projects and Programmes
The M&V Guideline was developed for the energy efficiency and demand side management programme of the national utility, Eskom, in South Africa. The guideline adopted IPMVP as the official M&V protocol that all projects need to adhere to. The purpose of the guideline was to inform all stakeholders on the position of M&V within the programme, M&V process within the programme and the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders. The City of Toronto's Better Buildings Partnership ? Existing Buildings provides financial incentives for projects making electrical savings. Applicants must prove their results using IPMVP methods (http://www.toronto.ca/bbp/pdf/BBP-ECI-Program-Guidelines-Feb08.pdf); The BOMA CDM Program references IPMVP when discussing the criteria used in evaluating projects
Services& Maintenance: Energy Measurement and Verification - An article in Today's Faclity Manager magazine, March 2009
There are many ways to measure and verify energy efficiency. Engineers generally equate M&V with the Efficiency Valuation Organization?s (EVO) International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol (IPMVP) as a way to measure systems in isolation or to conduct whole building comparisons (see sidebar for more on EVO)...

Guidelines for Verifying Existing Building Commissioning Project Savings - Using Interval Data Energy Models: IPMVP Options B and C - by California Commissioning collaborative, 11/2008, Author David Jump
This guideline identifies the many synergies between formal M&V processes and EBCx projects, and helps users design rigorous M&V procedures while minimizing added costs. The guideline was developed to address energy efficiency program managers? and building owners? needs to assure energy savings are delivered in EBCx projects, and to maintain savings persistence.

End-use energy efficiency is a cost-effective and rapidly deployable strategy for significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy costs. Energy savings certificates (ESCs) - instruments assigning the property rights to energy savings or attributes of those savings - are becoming an effective tool for meeting energy savings and GHG targets. The efficacy of ESCs will depend on the market's ability to (1) verify the amount of savings that they certify along with the uncertainty of those savings (i.e., quantify their value), (2) clearly assign ownership rights to that value (i.e., state exactly who owns what) and (3) efficiently buy and sell those rights between interested parties (i.e., conduct simple transactions). The measurement and verification (M&V) system governing ESCs will critically impact whether these three criteria are satisfied. An M&V system for ESCs requires the fundamental elements of an M&V system for any regulated energy-efficiency program, but must also address more explicitly the above-mentioned criteria. In this paper, the authors discuss the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) and specific elements of an M&V system that address components of an ESC system. Best Practice Guide, Commercial Office Buildings - The California Flex Your Power program has published a Best Practice Guide to Commercial Office Buildings in which they describe Measurement and
Verification as one step in planning an energy program. It includes a brief history of the IPMVP and describes the four M&V options included in the Protocol.
