WHAT IS CMVP?
Measurement and Verification (M&V) is a transparent and systematic method of quantifying and verifying energy and water savings of conservation measures. It is integral to the success of programs aiming to reduce energy and water consumption as it:

  1. - Standardises the quantification of energy and water savings across programs, companies and countries
  2. - Measures the outcomes of conservation measures against program objectives and company targets
  3. - Ensures rigorous and auditable internal and public reporting
  4. - Underpins financing and contractual arrangements related to energy and water efficiency programs
  5. - Provides a basis for discussion and agreement on the projected performance of conservation measures upfront and on an ongoing basis throughout a program
     

The Efficiency Valuation Organization (EVO) and Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) established the Certified Measurement and Verification Professional (CMVP) program to recognise the most qualified professionals and raise the standard of measurement and verification practice. The program comprises an application form, training, an exam and Continuing Professional Development.
