Attendees to the Energy Savings M&V Fundamentals and IPMVP course will utilize EVO’s International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) to implement “best practices" for measurement & verification for energy efficiency projects and to enhance continuous energy systems performance. The course also helps attendees prepare for taking the Performance Measurement & Verification Analyst (PMVA) Certification exam to earn their PMVA industry recognition. The live webinar format enables attendees to interact with the instructor.
PMVA – A (Associate option)
For those professionals that have not met either the work or education experience requirement but have passed the PMVA exam, they will be awarded the PMVA – Associate designation and have four (4) years to submit additional work experience and/or education to be upgraded to full PMVA status.
PMVA Certification builds on the M&V Fundamentals and IPMVP training curriculum owned and deployed by EVO since 2009. Over 15,000 individuals have taken this course with alumni in more than 60 countries.
The course has eleven subject matter modules (see below) that mirror the body of knowledge covered on the PMVA exam. Students will also be provided prior to the course the online Introduction to Statistics for M&V (Short self-taught online course) which further helps them prepare for the PMVA exam and M&V Fundamentals and IPMVP course.
M&V Overview:
Measurement and Verification (M&V) is the process of planning, measuring, collecting, implementing, enhancing, and analyzing data for the purpose of verifying and reporting energy savings within an individual facility resulting from the implementation of energy efficiency measures and to foster additional energy efficiency measures. Energy savings are sometimes hard to quantify since they represent the absence of energy usage. Instead, savings are determined by comparing measured use before, durning and after implementation of an energy efficiency project, making appropriate adjustments for changes in conditions.
M&V activities may consist of some or all of the following:
- Meter installation calibration, building optimization and maintenance,
- Data gathering and screening,
- Development of a computation method and acceptable estimates for new construction,
- Computations with measured data, and
- Reporting, quality assurance, generating M&V plans, and third-party verification of reports.
M&V techniques can be used to:
- Increase energy savings
- Enhance energy efficiency techniques, services and technologies
- Document financial transactions
- Enhance financing for efficiency projects
- Improve engineering design & facility operations and maintenance
- Manage energy budgets, utility incentives and rebates
- Enhance the value of emission reduction credits
- Support evaluation of regional energy efficiency & DSM programs

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one.
My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.)
The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item.
This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them.
I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows?
The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart.
I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.

Perfect for Blind Dogs, Fun and Durable
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
My blind dog loves these Chuckit! sniff balls. She can easily sniff them out and plays fetch with them for 20 minutes a day, even running up and down the stairs.
The balls are durable, bounce well, and the bacon and peanut butter scent keeps her engaged. I do wish Chuckit! would bring back the version with a tone so we could play fetch outside more easily.
Overall, a fantastic toy for dogs that rely on scent and a fun way to keep them active.
