VALIDATION

THE ESI VALIDATION PROCESS

The validation process of the ESI model has been developed with the objective of building trust and provide certainty of the technical aspects of the energy efficiency project to clients, insurance companies and financial institutions.

The main characteristics of the ESI Europe validation process are:

INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY
It is conducted by an independent technical validation entity
TECHNOLOGY-BASED
The technology-based methodology for the evaluation of the projects is based on Option A – Methodology of the IPMVP® protocol
CONTRACT ACTIVATION
The energy savings guaranteed by TP are validated by the validation entity after contract signature and as a requirement to activate the contract
INSTALLATION VALIDATION
The installation of the EE project is validated after the equipment is installed and ready to start operation
MONITORING VALIDATION
The validation entity carries out the validation of the first-year report on the energy savings achieved (optional for the following years)
ARBITRATION
The validation entity carries out an arbitration process in case of disagreement between TP and client on the annual reports of the energy savings achieved to mediate and clarify if a compensation is required. The validation is necessary for triggering the insurance claim.

The validation entity of the ESI Europe project is the Société Générale de Surveillance SA (SGS), present in the European countries, including Italy, Portugal and Spain.
