Latest edition of the leading international standard in efficiency measurement and verification protocols now available
EVO is very pleased to announce the publication of the 2007 International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) Volume I on Concepts and Options for Determining Energy and Water Savings. The 2007 IPMVP  is available immediately to the general public as of November 1, 2007.

The IPMVP is typically cited as good practice in numerous government and utility energy efficiency programs and emission trading regimes around the world, and as the basis for U.S. federal, state and utility M&V protocols. In 2006, the IPMVP was adopted by California as the foundation for M&V plans for the state's $2 billion investment in energy efficiency.
Benefits of adhering to IPMVP guidance include substantiation of payments for performance,  lower transaction costs in an energy performance contract, international credibility for energy savings reports, enhanced building rating under the Leadership in Energy Efficient Design (LEEDâ„¢) system of the United States Green Buildings Council (USGBC) and others, and the promotion and achievement of resource efficiency and environmental objectives.
Other IPMVP Volumes include Volume II on indoor environmental quality (IEQ) issues and Volume III on applications for new construction and renewables. Click here  to download these and older versions of Volume I.
