1. Welcome Energy Management Coordinators SB-267

2. State Energy Efficiency & Conservation Act (SB 267) Topics of Discussion:  Energy Reduction Goals  Status of Data Collection (DGS)  Plan of Attack  “Model” Energy Conservation Plan

3. SB 267 - Energy Reduction Goals/Requirements  Reduce the average energy consumption in state buildings by 5% in 2009, and 10% by 2010.  2005 is the baseline year.  State Agencies must upgrade their Energy Conservation Plan by July 1, 2008.

4. Setting the Standards  EUI – Energy Utilization Index –The EUI is used as a performance measurement. –It indicates the amount of energy used per square foot in your building per year. –You can compare your buildings performance to others of the same type of use. –It will be used as a bench mark for the SB-267 goals.

5. Information Needed to Calculate the EUI  Utility bills indicate the amount of energy used in the following units: –Electricity: KWH –Natural Gas: Therms or CCF –District Steam: CLBS or MLBS –District Chilled Water: Tons of Cooling –#2 Heating Oil: Gallons –Propane: Gallons  All units are converted into one common energy unit for comparison: British Thermal Units (BTU’s)  EUI = BTU’s / FT² / Yr

7. Status of Data Collection SB-267 Online Demo

8. Plan of Attack  Phase I/II approach –July 1: Preliminary plan excluding EUI targets, focus on creating an energy management plan/team, behavioral modification & building tune-up activities. –Fall 2008 (data collection complete): Finalize plans with EUI targets, estimated savings and specific energy efficiency projects  DGS-run facilities: ECs will coordinate with Steve Noonan (DGS Energy Manager).  Leased buildings (utilities included): ECs will participate in team building efforts, behavioral modification.  Leased building (utilities separate): ECs will complete a full plan.  Support Opportunities: –Training/Networking opportunities –EPCs (DGS) –SALP (State Agency Loan Program) –Energy audit assistance

9. Training Opportunities  Energy Conservation Techniques 101  Creating an Energy Management Plan/Team  Behavioral Modification (Engaging Employees)  Various Energy Efficiency Technologies  Performance Contracting 101  Building Operator Training (Tune-up/Re- commissioning)  Others?  Networking with other ECs? (June 1)

10. Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs)  Funding mechanism to pay for capital costs of efficiency upgrade projects  $ saved through reduced energy bills is leveraged to off-set the cost of financing, installing, operating, and maintaining the ECMs  Funds are repaid through energy savings, which are guaranteed by an Energy Service Company (ESCO)  ESCO – designs, installs, maintains and can finance retrofit and upgrade projects

11. ESCO  Identify and evaluate energy-saving opportunities  Design and engineering  Project management from design to installation to monitoring  Train your staff  Guarantee energy savings

12. Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)  5 Indefinite Delivery Contract Vendors Qualified ESCOs I.D. NO. DGS-06-EPC-IDC-5.0 Awarded April 18, 2007 BPW –Pepco Energy Services –Energy Systems Group –Noresco –Johnson Controls, Inc –Constellation Energy Projects & Services  Primary Procurement Authority

13. State Agency Loan Program (SALP) A.V. Williams Building (Univ. of MD, College Park) Lighting upgrades in the building hallways: -Reduced energy use 80 % from lighting in the hallways through a variety of energy efficiency upgrades including step dimming ballasts. -Hallway lighting is operating at 1/4 watt per square foot, or 50 percent less than the ASHRAE Standards. Project Manager: Marlowe Leafty, Manager of Electrical Systems Applications. 301-405-0052 mleafty@fm.umd.edumleafty@fm.umd.edu   Revolving loan program, MEA provides loans to State agencies for cost- effective energy efficiency improvements in State facilities   Approximately $1 million in new loans are awarded each fiscal year   State agencies pay zero interest with a 1% administration fee   Repayments are made from agency's fuel and utility budget, based on the avoided energy costs of the project Tim LaRonde at meainfo@energy.state.md.us call 1-800-72-ENERGY ______________________________________________________________________________

14. Energy Audit Assistance For those that don’t fall into this category (e.g, can’t do an EPC, paying for utilities), who would be interested in energy audit assistance?
