IPMVP® is suggested by SEAI and recommended by the EU Commission JRC.
Who needs IPMVP®
- energy users need robust methods of verifying achievement of their energy policy objectives, to get or maintain ISO 50001 and other certification
- potential purchasers of energy efficiency products or services want to know that products and services are proven using widely recognized methods
- actual purchasers of energy efficiency products or services need to measure their effectiveness, to fine tune performance and inform further purchases.
- governments and utilities need to know that savings reported from energy efficiency programs are grounded in actual field-measured results.
How much does M+V cost
The guideline for M+V is 3-5% of the first year’s (planned) energy savings. If engaged at the design stage, M+V can be cost effectively included in the overall project; fitting standalone M+V metering later, may take a project well beyond the upper 10% limit suggested for M+V projects.
