ICP Technical Forum September 16th - A Discussion of Common Project Gaps

On September 16th, at noon EST, the ICP Technical Forum will be focusing on current requirements of the ICP protocols that have presented some challenges to the "business-as-usual" approach to Energy Efficiency Project Development. Common items that have been brought up during the development of initial ICP-compliant projects, which will be discussed during this Technical Forum call, include:

• Savings Calculations - sharing "live" spreadsheet calculations.
• Operational Performance Verification (OPV, or commissioning) Plans - what is required in an OPV/Cx plan, and how elements of the plan need to be developed as the project progresses.
• Operations, Maintenance and Monitoring Plans - what are appropriate methods to ensure persistence of savings, and what is needed in an OM&M plan.
• Measurement and Verification Plans - what is required to demonstrate adherence to IPMVP criteria.

The Technical Forum call will also revisit the discussion  held during the August call, regarding normalization of baseline data, and whether non-normalized baselines can be developed for projects that warrant / justify this approach.
Please join us on September 16th, noon EST, to discuss these topics, and bring your own questions or concerns regarding challenges that the ICP approach might present for your projects and methods.
