The Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) Technical Reference Manual (TRM) consists of a set of standardized energy efficiency and conservation measure specifications for calculating and reporting energy savings and cost-effectiveness.  Utilities may use these specifications directly in their CIP programs without prior approval by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources (DER), or propose their own measure specifications, which are subject to DER review. The database will periodically be updated with new technologies or revised savings or cost estimates based on new research.
