The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently launched the Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) Campaign to enhance the use of ESPC and measurement and verification (M&V) across the public sector to deliver significant energy, environmental, and cost savings benefits to communities nationwide. Through DOE technical assistance and partner knowledge sharing, the ESPC Campaign supports partners in using ESPC to modernize buildings, save energy, lower utility, and operational expenses, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and collectively achieve $1 billion in measured and verified savings by 2030. Efficiency Valuation Organization (EVO) is proud to be one of the founding partners of this initiative, along with the Energy Services Coalition (ESC), the NASEO - National Association of State Energy Officials, and the NAESCO - National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO).   This campaign focuses on enhancing the use of ESPC and measurement and verification best practices across the state and local markets. In this context, EVO’s International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) becomes an essential resource for parties involved in ESPC. IPMVP-PMVA and IPMVP-PMVEcertification training programs also offer significant M&V capacity-building opportunities. Next training and certification starts in June - www.pbjtechhub.com/pmva   In addition, EVO will soon release an IPMVP application guide on M&V and Energy Performance Contract for Facility Owners. (Final title to be confirmed). This document will guide facility owners on issues arising during the normal process of negotiating and implementing an EPC and make their EPC project a positive experience. #PMVA #PMVE #ESCO #IPMVP #ESPC #MandV #energysavings #facilityowners #energymanagers #EPC Denis Tanguay
