Europe

The Investor Confidence Project Europe unlocks access to financing for the building, industry, district energy and street lighting markets by standardizing how energy efficiency projects are developed, documented and measured.

WHAT ICP offers: Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™
ICP's Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ (IREE™) is an international certification that insures best practices, the right professionals and third-party validation are used to deliver high-quality projects that you can bank on.

How does IREE™ work?
The IREE™ certification is based on the ICP framework, which assembles best practices and existing technical standards into a set of Protocols that define a clear roadmap for developing projects, determining savings estimates, and documenting and verifying results.

Benefits of IREE™

Owners get a standard they can use to source energy efficiency projects they can believe in
Investors achieve reduced due diligence costs thanks to third-party review of each project before certification
Standardized approach to developing projects enables aggregation of projects into high performance portfolios

Who can use IREE™?

Building, industry & energy supply and street lighting asset owners: to hold contractors to a high standard and protect your investment
Project developers: to deliver more transparent projects that increase confidence of owners and investors
Investors: to source projects, reduce transaction costs and build portfolios of projects

Energy service providers, insurers and local authorities and utilities also stand to gain from IREE™ as until now, limited actuarial-quality project data and industry fragmentation have discouraged investors from putting their cash in energy efficiency.

By streamlining transactions and increasing the reliability of projected energy savings, ICP Europe intends to build a marketplace for standardized energy efficiency projects. Individual projects can then be aggregated and traded by institutional investors on secondary markets – just like mortgages or other asset-backed securities.

The Investor Confidence Project is driven by the needs of an evolving industry. We are constantly looking for feedback on our protocols and input through our Technical Forums, and encourage interested stakeholders to participate in the process by joining the ICP Europe Ally Network.

Help ICP unlock the potential of energy efficiency as a global asset class.
