Regional EM&V Methods and Savings Assumptions GuidelinesMay 2010
The Forum developed these guidelines because it is believes that if implemented and used, EM&V guidance can benefit the Region by:

The EM&V Forum Glossary of Terms and AcronymsMarch 2009  This glossary is intended to define and explain terms used in the evaluation, measurement, verification (EMV), and market research of electric and gas energy efficiency, conservation, load management, demand response, and other demand reduction activities that regulators, policymakers, and other non-technical readers will encounter as they pursue their work. Included are terms commonly used in the processes of E,M, & V; terms associated with the energy efficiency measures being installed and the equipment or facilities within which they are installed; terms associated with program strategies that might be included in E, M & V studies; and other terms often found in evaluation reports.

The EM&V Methods and Savings Assumptions Guidelines have been developed to provide a common understanding of methods to consider when determining the savings from energy efficiency programs.
The Mid-Atlantic Technical Reference Manual (TRM) project was sponsored by Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The TRM documents in detail common savings assumptions for approximately thirty prescriptive residential and commercial/industrial electric energy efficiency measures. It is one of the few TRMs in the country to serve a multi-jurisdictional audience.
This study was commissioned jointly by sponsors of two regional organizations, in response to a widespread interest in updating end-use load data. It represents a first step - "Phase 1" - toward a goal shared by the east and northwest (the Regions) of developing a coherent method of warehousing, distributing, and updating end-use and efficiency measure load data for the regions to eventually have a full array of data for all end-uses and efficiency measures.
