Measurement & Verification

Prove the Impact of Your Energy Efficiency Projects

Measurement and Verification (M&V) with Purpose

When you invest in energy-saving technologies or operational improvements, it’s essential to demonstrate that the changes made are delivering the results you expect. Arthian’s Measurement and Verification (M&V) services provide a robust, transparent way to quantify energy savings, giving you the confidence to report, reinvest, and scale your efforts.

We work with our clients to deliver M&V services that are accurate, compliant, and align with international best practice.

What Is Measurement and Verification?

Measurement and Verification is the process of quantifying the energy savings resulting from a specific project or intervention. It compares energy use before and after implementation, adjusting for external factors such as weather, occupancy, or production levels.

At Arthian, we follow the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). the globally recognised standard for M&V. This ensures consistency, credibility, and comparability across projects.

Our M&V Services Include:

Baseline energy modelling using historical data
Preparing the M&V Plan
Post-implementation monitoring and data analysis
Savings calculations adjusted for relevant variables
IPMVP-compliant reporting for internal and external stakeholders
Support for funding, grants, and performance contracts

Whether you’re installing LED lighting, upgrading HVAC systems, or deploying a full building management system (BMS), we help you validate the return on investment with confidence.

Why M&V Matters

Deploying recognised M&V practices ensures the outcomes of change are measured, validated and understood. It de-risks decision making by:

Who We Work With

Evidence-Based Decision Making

Measurement & Verification (M&V) provides the hard data needed to support confident, cost-effective investment decisions.

Our approach helps you:

Prioritise future energy projects based on verified performance
Demonstrate ROI to internal stakeholders and funding bodies
Compare actual savings against projected outcomes for continuous improvement
Identify underperforming systems or interventions for corrective action
Build a defensible case for capital planning and sustainability reporting

By turning energy data into actionable insight, we help you invest where it matters most.

Funding and Incentives

Many UK grant schemes and performance-based contracts now require Measurement & Verification (M&V) to validate energy savings.

Our M&V services support:

Compliance with funding body and auditor requirements
Evidence to unlock grants, rebates, and performance-based payments
Support for contracts, public sector frameworks, and net-zero funding applications
Independent validation to strengthen business cases and investment proposals

We help you meet the evidentiary standards needed to secure funding and demonstrate return on investment with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need M&V for every energy project?

Not always—but it’s essential for larger projects, grant-funded initiatives, or where performance-based contracts are in place.

What kind of data do you need for M&V?

Best practice requires 12 months of pre-project energy data. We are happy to guide and advise you through the process and the available options, explaining it very clearly.

Can you help with M&V for existing systems?

Yes. We can assess and verify savings from past projects, even if M&V wasn’t planned from the outset.
