Model Energy Efficiency Program Impact Evaluation Guide

The National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency’s Model Energy Efficiency Program Impact Evaluation Guide provides national-level technical guidance for calculating energy and demand savings and avoided emissions from energy efficiency programs. It introduces processes and methodologies, and walks users through the steps involved in selecting a measurement and analysis approach that matches program and evaluation goals. This guide is recommended for the evaluation of program approaches relying primarily on direct energy savings.

For beginners, the National Action Plan recommends a condensed version of the guide that provides the basics of evaluation. See: Introductory Version
