ICP
The Investor Confidence Project (ICP) is a global underwriting standard for developing energy efficiency retrofits for commercial and multifamily buildings. Through Investor Ready Energy Efficiency (IREE) certification, ICP aims to standardize energy efficiency upgrades and transform the energy efficiency market by increasing confidence in the financial and environmental performance of building retrofits.
ICP combines the use of a standardized set of technical requirements (the ICP Protocols) and a network of qualified providers to bring rigorous, independent third-party verification to energy efficiency projects. This provides investors, building owners, and project developers a high degree of certainty in projected energy savings and financial returns.
Administered by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), ICP was established to address market barriers that inhibit large-scale investments in energy efficiency projects. Following the ICP framework helps organizations invest in projects that improve efficiency, provide a return on investment, and reduce operating costs. By only certifying projects that adhere to rigorous standards and best practices, ICP reduces risk for investors and lowers transaction costs for buyers and sellers of energy efficiency.
