EVO Announces Training Partners in China

The Efficiency Valuation Organization (EVO®) is pleased to announce its two training partners in China. SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd (SGS) and the Center for Industrial Energy Efficiency (CIEE) will conduct measurement and verification (M&V) and International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP®) trainings in China.

Over the past decade since its founding, EVO has recognized a rapidly increasing need for training on its flagship IPMVP product, and the certification of M&V professionals (CMVP™) on how to create M&V plans that adhere to the IPMVP. To help transfer the IPMVP’s guidelines and definitions into real M&V applications, EVO provides training at various levels to a cadre of audiences in its ever-expanding global community. We draw on the international expertise of EVO and our partnering organizations to provide M&V training that is tailored to the local needs of different regions. In order to increase international investment in energy efficiency projects, EVO’s instructors integrate the internationally-common elements with local market realities in the training programs.

SGSis a leading global inspection, verification, testing and certification company which has 40 offices in China. SGS is one of the few entities approved to verify GHG reductions under the Kyoto protocol and a leader in this capacity given the substantial Clean Development Mechanism activity in China. CIEEis a Chinese non-government organization that was established in 2008 to facilitate the improvement of China's industrial energy efficiency by organizing conferences and seminars, analyzing and publishing findings on energy conservation and emission reduction activities in China's industrial sectors, and providing consultancy services, technical assistance and training. The center is fully funded by the Energy Foundation.
