“EM&V” is the process of determining savings for programs or portfolios of programs. “M&V” is the process of determining savings for specific sites or measures. M&V is one of several ways savings are estimated within EM&V. Many EM&V guidance documents make reference to IPMVP. We are developing an Application Guide to bridge gap between EM&V protocols and IPMVP. Topics under consideration are:

• Lack of baseline data
• Baseline often not the existing conditions (dual baselines, Code baselines)
• Lifetime savings determination
• Option D calibration requirements
• Extrapolation
