The ICP Credential System combines the use of the ICP Protocols, existing industry certifications, and third party verification to create Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ (IREE) projects that provide investors and building owners with a new level of confidence in project engineering, performance and returns. IREE projects are akin to audited financials and other industry workflows that have paved the way towards securitization and classification by ratings agencies.
The system is comprised of three provider credentials and the Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ project designation. The system workflow leverages credentialed Project Developers who originate projects and proposals, credentialed Software Provider applications that can automate the process (optional), and credentialed Quality Assurance Providers who will perform a third party review utilizing ICP’s QA resources. Conforming projects will then receive the Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ designation. The result of the ICP Credentialing System is Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ projects. Investors and decision makers of all types, especially building owners, can be confident that these projects will be engineered, installed, operated and measured using consistent industry standards in order to deliver predictable returns. |
The Investor Network is comprised of energy efficiency investors who recognize the value of standardized Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ (IREE) projects. Members of the program recommend the use of the ICP protocols and the ICP Credentialing System as best practices when developing energy efficiency projects as projects that have been certified as IREE increase confidence in project performance while reducing due diligence related transaction costs.
ICP recommends that project developers, building owners, and others seeking project financing contact members of the listed ICP Investor Network who are currently seeking IREE and other high-quality projects to invest in.
