M&V Protocol

The Measurement and Verification Protocol provides a consistent method for calculating energy and water savings arising from Conservation Measures. The protocol enables changes to be taken into account to ensure that savings result from Conservation Measures. For example, using the protocol can attribute changes in energy consumption to changing occupancy or changing climatic conditions. However, to get the most out of this protocol it is essential to establish a good baseline period to ensure there is a clear understanding of current energy efficiency levels.

Standard Contracts

We have designed two standard contracts which cater for the two main approaches to energy performance contracting: Shared savings, where the ESCO provides the financing, and Guaranteed savings, where the client provides financing.

These contracts are intended to be fair and balanced and allocate risk appropriately between ESCO and client.

Accreditation Logo

Organizations accredited from the RSB under its ESCO accreditation scheme are able to benefit from their accreditation status through the use of an ESCO Accreditation Logo. Only organizations accredited by the RSB may use the Logo: on stationery, quotations for work, reports, websites and brochures, and other items relevant to the organization’s accredited activity. The RSB has provided Accredited ESCOs with terms and conditions that must be followed for the use of the Logo.
