The 2021 EM&V Forum
The Council’s 2021 EM&V Forum was on February 4th and was a great success. The focus of the Forum was on the convergence of evaluation and implementation issues related to three critical topics:
- Decarbonization evaluation and implementation
- DER valuation and counting
- NMEC site-based project rules
Our keynote speaker was Ed Vine from LBNL. Ed provided an historical perspective on how California first developed its EM&V protocols and offered insights on why a functional evaluation process is so critical as California confronts head-on the drastic challenges brought about by climate change.
