This website stores documents and contact information for participants of the Energy Department's Uniform Methods Project, which is managed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

The Uniform Methods Project will bring uniformity to the way states, utilities, program administrators, and evaluators calculate energy savings in their energy efficiency programs. The project goals are to:

• Provide clear, accessible, step-by-step methods to determine savings
• Create consistency and enhance transparency in how savings are calculated
• Reduce the cost of evaluation, measurement, and verification for public utility commissions, utilities, and program administrators
• Allow for comparison of savings across similar efficiency programs and measures
• Strengthen the credibility of energy efficiency savings.
