Proving Performance

Alex Rathmell – Managing Director


	Alex spent five years as an engineer and analyst in the energy efficiency sector with technology supplier powerPerfector Ltd, where he established an in-house evaluation team to support the performance guarantee that underpins powerPerfector’s projects. During this time Alex became interested in the field of project evaluation for energy saving schemes, which he views as the ‘missing piece’ of the UK’s energy efficiency industry. In 2009 he and colleague Hilary Wood became the first energy analysts in the UK to be accredited by EVO as ‘measurement & verification professionals’ (CMVP), and at this time idea of setting up an M&V ‘industry utility’ was born. In early 2011, Alex managed the de-merger of his team into EEVS Insight Ltd, which has become the UK’s only dedicated M&V service provider as an independent company. “We are building a unique business here” says Alex, “We have an opportunity to help UK industry deliver the investment in the built environment that we all know is needed, and will play our part in raising the profile of the energy efficiency industry. It is a privilege to be doing this with such a committed team.”
