Credentialing System for ICP Providers and Qualified Projects
The ICP Credential System combines the use of the ICP Protocols, existing industry certifications, and third party verification to create Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ (IREE™) projects that provide investors and building owners with a new level of confidence in project engineering, performance and returns.  IREE projects are akin to audited financials and other industry workflows that have paved the way towards securitisation and classification by ratings agencies.  ICP expects that full deployment of the ICP System will be a critical component in transforming the market infrastructure for the energy efficiency industry.  

The system is comprised of three provider credentials and the Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ project designation.  The system workflow  leverages credentialed Project Developers who originate projects and proposals, credentialed Software Provider applications that can automate the process (optional), and credentialed Quality Assurance Assessors who will perform a third party review utilising ICP’s QA resources.  Conforming projects will then receive the Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ designation.

Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™

​Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ designation ensures that a specific project conforms to the ICP protocols.  IREE projects must be developed by an ICP Credentialed Project Developer (or other qualified developer) and must contain a complete ICP Protocol documentation package that includes sign off by an engineer of record from the project development team. Furthermore, IREE project must have undergone quality assurance review by an independent and qualified ICP Quality Assurance Assessor who certifies that the project meets the requirements set forth in the ICP Quality Assurance Checklist and ICP Project Development Specification.

Project Developer 

​Project Developer Credential designates that a project developer (ESCO, Engineering firm, facility manager, building owner, etc.) is capable of meeting the requirements that are outlined in the ICP Energy Performance Protocols and that each firm has a licensed engineer either on staff or under contract, qualified to certify projects as complying with the requirements of the ICP Energy Performance Protocols.

The ICP Credentialed Project Developer is the crucial first step in the process of developing IREE projects.  We are actively recruiting experienced project developers who have the skills and qualifications necessary to originate high-quality project.  For more information on requirements and program benefits please view our ICP Project Developer Credential programme page here or contact us here.

Software Provider

​The Software Provider Credential is designed to assure that a  provider's product (software/application either installed or web-based) can support the requirements of the ICP Performance Protocols and ICP System.  Specifically, qualifying products must enable managed and easy access to all of the required documentation as well as support the ICP workflow for creating ICP IREE Projects.  This is accomplished through the Virtual Documentation Package (VDP) which creates a standardised documentation package automatically when projects are developed using the software application.  To find out more about the Software Provider programme, please view more information here or contact us here.

Quality Assurance Provider
​
​The Quality Assurance Provider Credential designates that an organisation has all necessary qualifications and certifications to provide Quality Assurance for a project developed according to the ICP Energy Performance Protocols leveraging the ICP Project Development Specification and QA Checklist.  Furthermore, this credential requires that the QA provider attest that they are an independent third-party with no affiliation to each project as part of the QA process.  If you are interested in this programme and its requirements please view our QA Assurance Provider page here or contact us here.
Use  ICP Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ Logo: Logo may be affixed to qualifying IREE project documents.  Modifications to the documentation package require re-certification by a designated ICP Quality Assurance Provider.  All digital assets displaying ICP IREE logo are required to link back to corresponding protocol on the ICP website.  Use of Provider Credential Logos: All digital assets displaying credential logos shall be hyperlinked to the corresponding Self Qualification form posted on the ICP website.
