Overview

The Efficiency Valuation Organization is an international non-profit organization that offers products and services which aid in:

Protocols

Starting in the 1990s, standardized approaches to energy efficiency M&V were developed to assist developers, owners and financiers of projects. Today, the EVO-owned International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) is the leading international standard in M&V protocols. IPMVP has been translated into 10 languages (including Spanish) and is used in more than 40 countries.  It is now typically cited as the basis for federal, state and utility M&V protocols.

Training and Certification Programs

EVO provides training workshops for M&V professionals in order to raise the standards in M&V. Using its international expertise, the organization develops special workshops and training programs tailored to the needs of specific regions.

EVO offers worldwide the Certified Measurement & Verification Professional (CMVP) designation. The right to use the CMVP title is granted to those who demonstrate proficiency in the M&V field by passing a 4-hour written exam and meet the required academic and practical qualifications. EVO's certification level training is offered as preparation for the exam, and as a review of basic principles for experts.
