- standard IPMVP language and terminology
- which option or method from the document will be used
- who will conduct the M&V program
- assumptions about significant variables or unknowns
- an accurate baseline using techniques appropriate to your project
- the method of ensuring an accurate energy-savings determination
- a post-installation inspection plan
- criteria for equipment metering, calibration, and measurement period
- the level of accuracy to be achieved by all major components
- quality assurance measures
- the contents of reports to be prepared, along with a schedule.
