Certified Measurement and Verification
Professional (CMVP) Course: May 2010
The Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), in cooperation
with the Efficiency Valuation Organization (EVO) formerly known
as the International Performance Measurement & Verification
Protocol (IPMVP), has established the Certified
Measurement and Verification Professional
(CMVP) program with the dual purpose of
recognizing the most qualified professionals in this growing
area of the energy industry, and raising the overall
professional standards within the measurement and verification
field.
The Efficiency Valuation Organization's (EVO) mission is to
develop and promote the use of standardized protocols, methods
and tools to quantify and manage the performance risks and
benefits associated with end-use energy efficiency, renewable
energy, and water efficiency business transactions.
The EVO-owned International Performance Measurement and
Verification Protocol (IPMVP) is the leading international
standard in M&V protocols. IPMVP has been translated into
10 languages and is used in more than 40 countries.
Since 1981, AEE has certified over 7,000 professionals
within the energy industry. AEE certification is recognized by
governmental agencies, including the U.S. Department of Energy
and the U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as
by utilities, end-users, and energy service companies. When you
earn the right to put the initials "CMVP" behind your name, you
are distinguishing yourself among those involved professionally
in areas requiring the application of accurate and reliable
measurement and verification methodologies. Certified
Measurement and Verification Professional has demonstrated high
levels of experience, competence, and specialized knowledge
within the field of Measurement and Verification (M&V). The
Certified Measurement and Verification Professional (CMVP) has
been CPD (Continuous Professional Development) accredited and
will earn you 2.0 credits.
The 3-day Certified Measurement and Verification
Professional course will be presented by the AEE in conjunction
with the Energy Training Foundation (ETF) for three consecutive
days during a week in May 2010 (at Birchwood
Executive Hotel and Conference Centre, Johannesburg). The
four-hour examination will take place on the last day.
