Measurement and Verification (M&V) Plan in accordance with the IPMVP Protocol

Client Name: A leader in the facility management and energy management industry

Project Name: Measurement and Verification (M&V) Plan in accordance with the IPMVP Protocol

Project Period: March 2025

Buildings involved: The project involves 31 buildings, primarily used as schools, located throughout Milan and its surrounding areas.

Job Description:

The job involves fine-tuning and application per year 2024 of a Measurement and Verification Plan (M&V – Measurement & Verification), which defines the methodology for quantifying the energy savings resulting from the interventions of energy efficiency on several buildings constructed as part of a EPC contract (Energy Performance Contract).

The Measurement and Verification Plan was developed in accordance with the IPMVP (International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol), the application of which has enabled the definition of a precise method for reporting of energy savings related to properties subject to Concession. It was therefore possible to correlate the plants’ gas consumption with significant meteorological variables, in particular with the Degree-Days and operating hours.

In addition, a detailed method was developed for reporting consumption related to heating and the production of domestic hot water. This method is based on the direct measurement of thethermal energy generated for these services through the use of specialized.

A crucial requirement for ensuring an accurate representation of the energy profile of buildings is the collection of data precise and tailored to each individual building. This approach has allowed for a assessment accurate assessment of heat consumption, which were analyzed both in relation to the current state before the intervention and the post-energy-efficiency-upgrade.

Following the measures, a significant decrease in heat consumption.
