Measurement and Verification definition

Measurement and Verification means activities intended to determine the actual energy and demand savings resulting from energy efficiency projects as described in this section.

Measurement and Verification means measurement and verification as defined in the standard;

Measurement and Verification or “M&V” means the process of using measurements to reliably determine and verify the actual savings created within buildings, infrastructure, or systems resulting from an energy management program. Savings cannot be directly measured, since they represent the absence of energy use. Instead savings are determined by comparing measured use before and after implementation of a project, making appropriate adjustments for changes in conditions. M&V follows the standards and definitions in the current International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (“IPMVP”), as may be amended by the Efficiency Valuation Organization on the Effective Date of this contract. The CEO Measurement and Verification Policy may allow alternative verification standards as appropriate for select Utility Cost-Savings Measures or FIMs.

Examples of Measurement and Verification in a sentence

• The program savings is broken down into three benchmarks; Energy Reduction Plan, Project Implementation, and Measurement and Verification.

• A realization rate and net-to-gross ratio are applied to adjust the program reported savings based on the most recent Measurement and Verification and Attribution evaluation studies.

• Verification of energy savings consistent with the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocols (IPMVP) is not required but encouraged.
