The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) is extending its request for public comment on the draft M&V Guidelines: Measurement and Verification for Federal Energy Projects (Version 4.0).

The document provides guidelines and methods for measuring and verifying energy, water, and cost savings associated with Federal energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs). Version 4.0 includes revised definitions of the four main M&V options, and provides a tighter overall presentation by moving much of the auxiliary material to stand-alone documents. It also includes a new section that provides general M&V guidance for the majority of the standard energy conservation measures and water conservation measures typically implemented in Federal ESPCs.

FEMP has reopened the comment period and requests that new comments on this draft be sent via email to Cyrus Nasseri by Monday, December 1, 2014.
