Program evaluation plays an essential role in assessing the impacts of utility energy efficiency programs and improving their performance. In this webinar ACEEE presented results from a national survey of state policies and practices for evaluation, measurement, and verification (EM&V). The survey finds, for example, that evaluation policies and practices continue to vary widely from state to state, although many of the underlying methodological foundations of EM&V are common among states. Another finding is that today’s evaluators have a larger and more diverse set of tools, techniques, and resources than was available eight years ago when ACEEE conducted a similar national survey. Staff from E4theFuture joined ACEEE staff to discuss resources they have developed to support and guide program evaluators.
