An Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) 2019 Deep Dive Workshop

This Deep Dive Workshop brought together international and Asia based experience and discussed how energy efficiency efforts can be scaled up for impact. The workshop covered two primary areas: how measurement and verification (M&V) tools and methods can be used to effectively create an “EE meter”; and experience with testing and scaling up business models for energy service companies (ESCOS). Presentations and discussions in the workshop also comparatively showed which ESCO business models across key Asia-Pacific markets show the promise of growth, and how such models can be replicated in other nascent ESCO markets. 

This DDW demonstrated relatively simple and transparent ways to measure and verify savings on the primary EE technologies according to the generally accepted M&V principles of the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). It also presented new global Certified Energy Savings Verifier (CESV) certification being provided (initially in Indonesia and France) by the Efficiency Valuation Organization (EVO) to professional individuals who have passed a rigorous exam demonstrating they have the competency to independently certify estimated and achieved savings of EE Projects.
