Energy Efficiency & 
Performance Contracting
Contracting for energy efficiency services and retrofit projects can range from simple to complex depending on the scope and cost of the project.  Most educational institutions that will be spenlding more than $100,000 on a single contract will most likely have to send out a request for proposal (RFP) to prospective proposers.  Some states provide information on how toaccomplish this process. 
Performance Contracting - A contract wherein the cost of the conrratt is related to how well the completed project reduces future operating costs.  The contractor's fee might be fixed or based on a percentage of the overall financial perfomance. 
Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracting - A contract where the cost of the project is guaranteed by a certified Energy Services contractor (ESCO) to be equal or less than the amount of savings generated. 
IPMVP - International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol.  This is the industry standard approach for measuring and verifying savings performance of energy conservation measures installed by an ESCO.  For more details go to www.IPMVP.org.
