They are: Currently ICP does not allow the use of an IPMVP option D calibrated simulation for Measurement and Verification (See, Why ICP Does Not Use IPMVP Option D Calibrated Simulation.
This application (adapted from IPMVP 2012 Vol 1) is intended to identify an M&V option based on responses to few questions about the energy conservation measure/project that's being considered for evaluation. Measurement: Establish baseline energy usage. Some, but not all, parameters may be stipulated. Data Access And Management May 2014
Instead, savings are determined by comparing measured use before and after implementation of a project, making appropriate adjustments for changes in conditions. Variable speed drive on a pump. Our systems provide the data stability and reliability to maintain auditable measurement and validation for whatever period is required. The fact is that Option D is primarily intended for new construction projects; essentially, projects in which there are no baseline data available (utility data).
The choice among the options involves many considerations. The procedure to analyze and extract the actual savings will be outlined in the agreed M&V plan. V olume III International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol Concepts and Options for Determining Energy Savings in New Construction April 2003 www.ipmvp.org Volume III It will include how to isolate savings generated by the proposed Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs).
The IPMVP is a guidance document that provides a conceptual framework for measuring, computing, and reporting savings achieved by energy or water efficiency projects in commercial 1 International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol: Concepts and Options for Determining Energy

We'll assume you're ok with this, but you can opt-out if you wish.
Standard Commercial.
The IPMVP presents one structure and four M&V options to evaluate a project’s savings in a transparent, reliable and coherent way.
(Please note that to access the documents cited in this section, you must login into your account, then the LIBRARY Menu on top will be displayed.If you want an account, please select a web subscription option). September 2015 June 2014 An M&V plan using IPMVP Option C – Whole Facility Measurement (kWh) is ideal for multifaceted energy management program. Options A and B are retrofit isolation methods; Option C is a whole-facility method; Option D can be used as either, but is usually applied as a whole-facility method. The IPMVP presents a framework and four measurement and verification (M&V) Options for transparently, reliably and consistently reporting a project’s savings.
Energy price changes may then be then added to the equation. For more information on icp please contact us.
It should also utilize the benefits of continuous monitoring and reporting so unrelated incidents of avoidable energy waste do not pass unchallenged. Operating hours of the lights are typically agreed upon. This framework is recommended by energy efficiency authorities such as the US Department of Energy and the SEAI of Ireland.
M&V activities include site surveys, metering of energy or water flow(s), monitoring of independent variable(s), calculation, and reporting. Confidence levels and other checks are considered to be part of the plan being prepared by the CMVP. The actual performance of the building, once it is built, is then compared to this estimate of energy use generated by the energy model. The IPMVP presents a framework and four measurement and verification (M&V) Options for transparently, reliably and consistently reporting a project’s savings.
Savings are determined using building simulation. March 2014 This is the adjustment used to calculate savings. The type of option chosen will vary from project to project. This is the process of using measurement to reliably determine actual savings created within an individual facility by an energy management program.

IPMVP sets out four different options for determining project savings. Size of this PNG preview of this SVG file: I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license: Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents.
Large Commercial List Options Option Definition Unit of Measure; None: None : None : Not applicable: Not applicable : None : Option A: Option (A) Retrofit Isolation: Key Parameter Measurement -- Savings are determined by field measurement of the key performance parameter(s) which define the energy use of the energy conservation measure (ECM) affected system(s) and/or the success of the project.
This framework is recommended by energy efficiency authorities such as the US Department of Energy and the SEAI of Ireland. The IPMVP allows building owners, energy service companies, and financiers of energy efficiency projects to quantify the energy savings performance of energy conservation measures (ECMs). Volume I of the IPMVP is a support document, describing the common practices of savings measurement, calculations and follow-up of energy or water efficiency projects for each final user. Savings are determined by measuring energy use at the utility meter level. This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. truetrue. January 2015 February 2014, All IPMVP provides four options for determining savings (A, B, C and D). Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 CC BY 3.0 ResourceKraft provides a comprehensive system from the initial benchmarking of energy use ahead of M&V through to the final Measurement and Verification reports.
This option is rarely used, and is used primarily when there is no pre-retrofit utility data available.

The gathering and collation of metered energy usages and weather data plus other variables, to be agreed with the CMVP. Measurement and Verification provides an appropriate measurement and verification of savings, to be used in the internationally recognized process, IPMVP.
Providing in-depth analytics, reporting and alerts to thousands of customers around the world. The availability of digital data of meter readings and weather data allow this process to be conducted, operated and reported on to a very high degree of accuracy, using ResourceKraft systems for the full duration of the project.

The IPMVP process is managed by a Certified Measurement and Verification Professional (CMVP). Advisor monitors electricity, oil, gas, water and carbon. Measurement and Verification for Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs): (the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol) is a guidance document describing common practice in measuring, computing and reporting savings achieved by energy or water efficiency projects. To maintain integrity of the process, we recommend using high quality meter data to attain the highest possible accuracy. An organization which has improved its energy efficiency should ensure systems are in place to avoid adverse shifts in ECMs performance. IPMVP FRAMEWORK. This is typically used to perform the measurement of savings for Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs).
Typically this would be extracted from a baseline of use data and strong correlation variables such as Heating and Cooling Degree Days, using multi-variant regression analysis; to produce an ‘intercept’ that is our base-load.
Savings cannot be directly measured, since they represent the absence of energy use. Cookie Policy © 2020. The Large Commercial/Multifamily protocol requires the use of an IPMVP Option C, Whole Facility measurement and verification (M&V) approach. April 2015 IPMVP was introduced as a guideline methodology by which the energy savings achieved from energy efficiency projects could be measured and verified in a consistent and reliable manner.
Savings are determined by field measurement of the energy use of the systems to which the ECM was applied.
July 2014 Electricity use is measured by a kWh meter installed on the electrical supply to the pump motor. Quality Assurance
The selection of an IPMVP option is the decision of the designer of the M&V programme for each project. Multifaceted energy management program affecting many systems in a building but where no base-year data are available. While the Standard and Targeted protocols require Options A or B, Retrofit Isolation approaches. Lighting retrofit where pre- and post-retrofit fixture Wattages are measured. Persistence of energy savings can be achieved by completing follow on efforts that build on M&V.
