1 Energy Conservation Program Initial Board Report February 16, 2016 Pinellas County Public Schools REVIEW OF PERIOD MARCH 2015 – NOVEMBER 2015

2 Cenergistic Approach 2

3 Efforts to Date Six dedicated Energy Specialists hired in May 2015, including 4 former PCSB employees Energy Specialists have completed thousands of site visits to facilities county wide Daily review of the districts 140+ building automation (BAS) schedules Comprehensive training and analysis of billing history to identify conservation opportunities Over 350 FTE days on site by Cenergistic engineers and consultants Database and billing analysis for 1,305 utility accounts and 1,624 meters 3

4 A Day in the Life of an Energy Specialist Continual building presence with on-site audits Train one-on-one with Cenergistic staff Visit with Cenergistic engineers and consultants Program energy management system (EMS) and work with maintenance team Match conditioning times to occupied times Work cooperatively with maintenance in field Plan strategically for extended breaks Communicate to teachers and staff Promote an “energy conservation culture ” 4

5 Utility Cost Distribution 5 Electricity Accounts for 81% of Utility Expenditures Annual Utility Costs: $31.4 M

10 Interval Analytics 10 Duke Energy’s interval data allows us to analyze hourly consumption of large meters. This analysis shows impact of winter break shut down on consumption at Dunedin Highland Middle School. Duke Energy’s interval data allows us to analyze hourly consumption of large meters.

18 Savings In Period Total Savings by (Utility Type)  Electricity $ 1,495,854 (7.3%)  Natural Gas $ 76,448 (13.0%)  Water & Sewer $ 184,757 (6.6%) Total Savings by (Period) Quick Start (March 2015- October 2015) $1,553,970 (7.3%) Performance YR 1 (November 2015) $ 203,089 (7.9%) Savings (Total) $ 1,757,059 (7.4%) 18

19 Environmental Benefits We have saved Over 12 million kWh of Electricity Over 70 thousand therms of Natural Gas The environmental impact of which can be measured as one of the following: Preventing 6,942 Metric Tons of CO 2 Removing 1,446 automobiles for an entire year Planting 178,000 tree seedlings for 10 years 19

20 ENERGY STAR ® Committed to high standards in energy conservation Demonstrates our good stewardship of our environment Validation of our energy program at the national level 20

21 Teamwork The success of the program depends on everyone! Special thanks go out to Dr. Grego- for communicating program value from onset to district leadership Clint Herbic- for serving as program liaison Mike Hewett, Joe Maceda, and Mark Rhodes- for providing leadership and support General Managers: Doug Abbott, Terry Huberty, Tom McGinty & Jerry Reynolds- for their regional management, expertise and guidance System’s Optimization Service Instrument Technicians, Scott Allen, Jim Evens, David Henderson, Bob Lewis, Woody Rector, Mike Simmons, Doug Waddell, Dan Walsh- for collaboration with the Energy Specialists to improve building efficiency and enhance comfort for staff and students Head Plant operators and their staff- for proactively implementing and providing support for our program Principals & Staff for coordinating efforts within their respective schools Teachers & Students- for reducing energy waste in the classrooms Community- for supporting our energy program 21

22 The Future of Our Energy Program Meet/Exceed 19% savings expectation ($6.1 million annually) Maintain good stewardship of public funds Continue to reduce the environmental impact of PCSB Identify reduction opportunities with electrical, natural gas, and water consumption Plan and prepare for spring and summer shutdown to achieve greater savings Coordinate daily classroom shut downs Continue developing an “energy conservation culture” 22

23 Measurement and Verification Cenergistic’s process to measure and verify your savings is rigorous, transparent and conforms to accepted industry guidelines. The quality checks at every step of the process ensure the accuracy of your savings information. 23
