( 3) This Savings Guarantee and any achievement of the Annual Guaranteed Savings does not directly represent nor depend upon the OWNER actual utility bills , and is not a guarantee of a lower utility bill in terms of absolute dollars. ( D) SAVINGS DETERMINATION METHODOLOGY ( 1 ) The 2000 Federal Energy Management Program ( FEMP ) M &V Guidelines Version 2 . 2 and 2002 International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (" IPMVP" ) are voluntary consensus documents written by and for technical , procurement and financial personnel in government, commerce , and industry . The FEMP M &V Guideline and IPMVP provide an overview of current measurement & verification ( M &V) techniques and set the framework for verifying third-parry-financed energy projects for public ( including Federal ) and private-sector projects . They dictate that energy (or water) savings are determined by comparing the energy ( or water) use associated with a facility or certain systems within a facility before and after the installation of an energy conservation measure ( ECM ) or other measure . The " before" case is called the baseline . The " after" case is called the post-installation , or performance , period . Baseline and post-installation energy use measurements or estimates can be constructed using the methods associated with M &V Options as described in these guidelines . The challenge of M &V is to balance M &V costs , accuracy , and repeatability with the value of the ECM (s) or systems being evaluated , and to increase the potential for greater savings by careful monitoring and reporting . Therefore , the Protocol recommends Options A ( Partially Measured Retrofit Isolation ) for the measured savings portion or non -stipulated /non - calculated portion . Attachment 7 contains a detailed summary of both verification methods . (2 ) THE ANNUAL GUARANTEE REPORT . Commencing upon the anniversary of the Final Acceptance Date , and upon each anniversary thereafter occurring during the Savings Guarantee Term (subject to a reasonable amount of preparation time for the COMPANY) , the COMPANY shall deliver an annual Guarantee Report to the OWNER .
