Measurement & Verification

What Is It & Why Is It Important?

Measurement & Verification, or M&V as it is commonly referred, is a process for quantifying the precise impact an energy conservation measure has on facility usage. For organizations making the business decisions to prioritize energy efficiency, it calculates the bottom line impact from the energy saved by the overall investment. The M&V process involves the installation and maintenance of energy meters, gathering data for analysis and computations, and ongoing reporting to provide you with system intelligence for your facility.

Our team takes an integrated approach to M&V and performance assurance measures, providing our customers with a more responsive and comprehensive look at their facilities so that they are able to achieve peak operational efficiency and cost savings.
