Performance Measurement and Verification Analyst – PMVA Exam Refresher

The main goal of the Performance Measurement and Verification Analyst (PMVA) Overview training program is to give people the knowledge, skills, direction, and tools they need to accurately carry out and manage measurement and verification. The program will also equip participants with the qualifications typically held by experts in this field.

Measurement and verification, or M&V, is the process of organizing, assessing, gathering, and evaluating data to confirm energy savings within a specific facility as a result of putting one or more energy-saving measures in place.

Meter usage, data collection and monitoring, energy data estimation and measurement, and report validation are just a few of the strategies used to achieve this.

Performance measurement and verification analysts or specialists can frequently help a business implement cost-saving measures in an economical manner by maintaining open lines of communication with project partners for a variety of buildings, including new construction, existing buildings, and industrial facilities.

Measurement and verification (M&V) is an important accountability mechanism that tracks and validates energy savings over time. M&V provides you with a specialized partner who is focused on optimizing performance and quantifying results.

Saving energy is becoming increasingly important for businesses. However, many professionals struggle to calculate and communicate these savings for a variety of reasons, including a lack of time, knowledge, or appropriate tools.

Krishnaji Pawar, an accomplished energy modeling expert specializing in the creation of sustainable design strategies for commissioning, environmental impact assessment, green building certification systems (LEED, GSAS, etc.), energy modeling, and environmental management systems, developed the PMVA Overview training.

The Efficiency Valuation Organization (EVO) established the Performance Measurement and Verification Analyst (PMVA) program to support the certification of the most qualified professionals in this expanding sector of the energy industry and to elevate the professional standards of measurement and verification overall.
