Text

Having conducted evaluations of numerous energy efficiency programs, we recognize that a well-designed data systems for tracking program participation and activities is key to effective program monitoring, verification and evaluation. A well-designed tracking system can assist with targeting, provide early feedback on implementation efforts, provide continuous tracking of program performance, and provide critical information for verification and evaluation. On the other hand, failure to develop and maintain a good tracking system can add significantly to the cost of monitoring, verification and evaluation; reduce confidence in results; and increase the variance in estimates of savings.
