Proof™ certificate alongside OPTIMA verification team reviewing energy data

05 — Verified Savings

Savings aren't promised. They're proven.

Proof™ is an IPMVP-aligned record of what your project actually saved — in kilowatt-hours, dollars, and tonnes of CO₂. Issued by OPTIMA's verification team. Included with every deployment. Audit-ready by design.

What it is

Close the loop on energy savings.

Most lighting projects make claims. A few measure them. Almost none document them in a form that holds for a CFO review or an ESG audit. Proof™ is our answer to that gap. It is a verification document, applied using the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) — the global standard for quantifying energy savings.

What we deliver

What's included in Proof™.

  • Pre-installation baseline, modeled against twelve months of consumption data and normalized for operating patterns.
  • Measurement & Verification Plan (M&V Plan), aligned to IPMVP — the methodology, the boundaries, and the calculations, all documented before the work starts.
  • Post-installation measurement period with real data capture.
  • Verified savings expressed in kilowatt-hours, dollars at applicable rates, and tonnes of CO₂ avoided.
  • Proof™ certificate — the final document attesting that the savings target was met, registered to your facility with a unique certificate number.
  • Audit-ready documentation suitable for ESG reporting, IESO Save on Energy program submissions, and lender or investor due diligence.

How it works

How Proof™ works.

  1. Plan

    Before anything is installed, we write the M&V Plan — the document that defines what will be measured, how it will be measured, and what will count as success. This is the IPMVP discipline that distinguishes verification from estimation.

  2. Baseline

    We establish a verified baseline using twelve months of consumption data, normalized against your operating patterns — shifts, zones, seasons, and use.

  3. Measure

    We capture actual consumption continuously after installation — by fixture, by zone, by time period.

  4. Verify

    Our verification team applies IPMVP-aligned reviews during the measurement period, against the baseline and the projected savings, with adjustments for any operational changes.

  5. Issue

    At the end of the measurement period, we issue the Proof™ Certificate — documented, registered to your facility.

What you walk away with

Numbers your CFO and ESG team can use.

  • A signed, IPMVP-aligned certificate of what was actually saved — not what was promised.
  • Audit-ready documentation for ESG reporting.
  • Evidence supporting eligibility for IESO Save on Energy and other utility rebate programs.
  • A record that you can use for board reporting, for sustainability disclosure, for the next round of capital allocation.

Common questions

What finance and ESG teams ask first.

  • Yes. IPMVP is the global standard for measurement and verification, recognized by utilities, governments, GRESB, CDP, SBTi, and most corporate ESG frameworks. Documentation produced under IPMVP is accepted in Scope 2 reporting and audit processes.
