1. Rebuild Massachusetts and PHEEP Energy Information Services Project Presentation to DCAM, EOEA, HUD January 4, 2006

2. 2 Agenda Overview Demonstration

3. 3 Rebuild Massachusetts Division of Energy Resources (DOER) Promotes energy & water efficiency in schools, municipalities, and public housing Key strategies  Identify barriers and potential solutions  Demonstrate financial and technical feasibility of select solutions  Disseminate results Funded by US DOE

4. 4 Rebuild Massachusetts Public Housing Energy Efficiency Project (PHEEP) Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Improves energy and water efficiency in state- assisted public housing, using:  Performance contracting  Utility DSM programs  Other resources Funding from:  US DOE  MA EOEA  Investor-Owned Utilities

5. 5 Rebuild MA / PHEEP EIS project Providing customized, web-based energy information services (EIS) to:  Eliminate the barriers that prevent public agencies (and other customers) from: Gaining access to energy information Making effective use of energy information  Enable those agencies to implement energy efficiency projects and track savings and emission reductions

6. 6 Energy information: the key to energy management Public agencies need energy information to:  Benchmark usage and identify priority targets for efficiency investments  Develop baseline usage data For performance contracting procurements To measure results  Monitor and verify energy usage Identify deviations from performance expectations for prompt response  Track utility expenses and generate financial reports and budgets  Develop emissions inventory and track and report emission reductions

7. 7 Barriers to obtaining and using energy information Utility bills are typically paid and then stored in file cabinets. The data is not available for use in energy management. There is no readily available link between utility bills, building performance, and occupant energy and water use. There is limited access to utility bills by the people responsible for energy management and building performance.  Building level  Agency level  Supervisory agency level

8. 8 EIS features Electronic download of utility data...  Can eliminate the need for manual data entry  Reduces cost and increases speed Integration of utility billing and usage data with building and energy end-use information...  Connects utility bills to building performance Point and click access...  Makes information easily accessible to users Standard and custom reporting...  Delivers information in the form users need and can use Automated report generation and distribution...  Allows easy, simultaneous sharing of energy information with all stakeholders in energy management, including: Supervisory agencies Executive administration Accounting Property management Maintenance personnel

9. 9 5 steps Collect data  Building data: address, s.f., # of units, end-uses  Usage data: electricity, gas, oil, water Match data  Match building data to usage data Analyze data  E.g., calculate usage and cost per: agency, development, building, s.f., unit, etc. Report information  To all stakeholders: supervisory agencies, agency director, facility manager, maintenance, accounting Update data

10. 10 Reports Usage and cost per:  Agency, development, building, s.f., unit, bedroom Comparisons  Over time  Between agencies, developments, buildings, units, etc. Greenhouse gas emissions Baseline usage for performance contracting Monitoring and verification of performance contracting investments Energy savings over time
