Ensure the accuracy of energy savings and build trust in energy efficiency projects.

The Certified Measurement & Verification Professional® (CMVP®) program, developed by the Association of Energy Engineers, is designed to recognize the most qualified professionals in the field of energy savings verification. CMVPs are critical to raising professional standards within the measurement and verification (M&V) field, helping to ensure the credibility and success of energy efficiency initiatives.

The Role of a Certified Measurement & Verification Professional®
A CMVP® specializes in applying internationally recognized methods to quantify the energy impacts of energy management activities. They ensure that energy savings are accurately measured and verified, making them essential to energy savings performance contracts, utility incentive programs, and other energy management initiatives. CMVPs work with project partners to provide clear communication and confidence in the results of energy-saving measures, helping companies implement cost-saving strategies effectively.

Who Should Become a CMVP?

• Are you an energy manager seeking to validate energy savings and performance results?
• Do you consult on energy efficiency projects for buildings or industrial facilities?
• Are you a building owner or manager interested in financing projects through verified energy savings?
• Are you involved in designing or optimizing industrial processes or new construction projects?

What a CMVP Does
CMVPs are responsible for managing and performing measurement and verification activities that confirm the energy performance improvements resulting from energy-saving initiatives. By applying M&V principles, CMVPs help companies accurately assess their energy savings, making it easier to implement energy efficiency measures with confidence.

Key Areas Covered in the CMVP® Body of Knowledge
The CMVP® Body of Knowledge includes essential topics such as:

• Basis for Energy Adjustments
• Performance Verification Approaches
• Retrofit Isolation and Whole Facility Approaches
• M&V Planning and Reporting
• Metering, Data Collection, and Modeling Concepts

These concepts ensure CMVPs have the skills and expertise to validate energy savings across various sectors, from building systems to industrial processes.

Global Recognition and Application
CMVP® certification is internationally recognized and accredited, making it a valuable credential for professionals working in energy management and verification worldwide. CMVPs play a key role in ensuring energy-saving measures are properly quantified, providing transparency and trust in energy efficiency projects.

Certified professionals are employed across sectors in countries such as the United States, Canada, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East. CMVP certification is also recognized by government programs such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and municipal benchmarking programs, such as in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Once certified, maintain your CMVP credential by staying updated on industry developments and participating in professional development. Connect with other CMVPs through LinkedIn groups, AEE chapters, and global energy conferences.
