PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS AND VERIFICATIONS ANALYST - TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION
The Performance Measurement and Verification Analyst (PMVA) professional certification establishes the primary standard for individuals applying performance, measurement, and verification concepts to energy efficiency projects.
PMVAs are involved in the design and implementation of energy efficiency programs and the financing of energy efficiency projects. They have demonstrated M&V capabilities that include a good understanding of how to apply the IPMVP to determine savings. PMVAs could be building technologists, HVAC specialists, engineers, architects, economists, financial analysts, and more.
The PMVA CERTIFICATION is earned through demonstrated field M&V work achieved through a mix of M&V relevant education, professional expertise and experiences.
