| description |
Energy efficiency is a cost-effective
solution to meet energy, climate change, and
sustainabledevelopment goals and critical for supporting
access to affordable, reliable, and sustainableenergy
services in developing countries. The energy efficiency
potential is vast and largelyuntapped across the world. This
is widely recognized by most governments, the
developmentcommunity, and international organizations, and
forms the foundation of global initiatives such
asSustainable Energy for All. The benefits of improving
energy efficiency are multiple, but so are the barriers.
There is no silver bullet, but recognizing the multiple
benefits of energy efficiency - including energy savings, as
well as others and making them more visible and credible is
an integral part of the solution. If demonstrated suitably,
these multiple benefits can motivate stakeholders to invest
and participate in energy efficiency programs. The report
makes the case that M&V should be a critical aspect of
any energy efficiency project or program in order to ensure
value for money, justify continued or increased funding, as
well as provide the basis of performance-based payment
mechanisms. M&V is essential to assess resource savings
and to ensure that savings persist over time. Energy
efficiency practitioners use M&V for several reasons,
such as, to: improve engineering design and project costing;
enhance energy savings through adjustments in facility
operations and maintenance; document financial transactions;
enhance financing for energy efficiency projects; and
support development of broader energy efficiency programs. |
