International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP)

The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) is a set of standardized guidelines used to determine how well energy-saving projects or efficiency improvements actually work. It provides a consistent method for measuring, verifying, and reporting energy savings, ensuring transparency and accuracy. This helps stakeholders, like property owners or energy companies, confidently assess the impact of investments in energy efficiency, making sure that claimed savings are real and reliable. In essence, IPMVP establishes a common framework for evaluating whether energy performance improvements are achieved as intended.
