2 n Eliminate Energy Waste r Audit buildings during unoccupied times. r Monitor building usage during occupied times r Track & analyze consumption for building efficiency r Use web-based tools & diagnostic loggers to track waste r Maintain energy policy and guidelines n Save Dollars r Minimize consumption and demand charges r Audit and monitor utility bills & meters for errors or overcharges r Evaluate usage trends for abnormalities n Maintain Comfort & Safety in Occupied Areas r Coordinate usage of facilities and monitor operational efficiency of equipment vs. design.

3  Measurement and verification (M&V)" is the terminology commonly used to describe the practice of measuring energy savings and verifying cost avoidance. Energy CAP 's Cost Avoidance module is an M&V tool.  The U.S. Department of Energy recently headed an effort to develop a written standard to define and describe various M&V options. Energy CAP is considered an "Option C -- Whole Building" method of M&V under this standard.  The standard, called the International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol is U.S. Department of Energy document (DOE/GO )  Energy CAP is an independently owned and developed software product in full compliance with this government standard.  Your School district is a licensed User of the software tool.

4  Measurement is based on “Consumption” comparisons between the base period and the current billing cycle (meter-by-meter).  All financial/Economic values are based on current cost of energy (I.e. energy savings for a given month use the actual unit cost of energy (for that month) to determine the savings/loss for an accounting period). Savings is never based on past “historical” energy prices.  Adjustments for “load” changes such as added/removed mechanical systems, new technology, increased building square footage and portable building additions are determined by the district Energy Educator/Manager through inventory assessment. The net increase or decrease to building loads are entered into the software to determine projected increase or decreased costs.

5  Changes in Weather  Changes in Building Square Footage  Special Adjustments (changes in equipment or programs) The accounting program adjusts the Base Year consumption to reflect these changes and an Apples to Apples comparison is achieved. In order to make a valid comparison between consumption in the Base Year and consumption in a Savings Year certain criteria must be taken into account.  Differences in the length of the Billing Periods

District Energy Program policies and guidelines distributed district-wide. The Energy Program has been implemented at all buildings and staff work cooperatively to follow the guidelines and policies of the District Energy Program. All buildings are experiencing varying degrees of success. The Middle School custodial staff received an award for the largest percentage of energy savings. Gas meters have been updated so that no meters are shared between buildings enabling energy savings to be tracked.

The EPA estimates that every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity use avoided prevents the emission of the following: 1.5 pounds of carbon dioxide 5.8 grams of sulfur dioxide 2.5 grams of nitrogen oxides. Our District has saved the equivalent of over 1,722,379 kWhs of electricity in 11 months. These savings are equal to: 241 automobiles being removed from the highways annually, or 500 acres of trees being planted. 1,292 tons of carbon dioxide being removed, or

Investment: Retrofits & energy efficient construction Enhanced cost avoidance: Preventive Maintenance Program support Program permanence: teacher & student involvement Enhanced Public Relations & partnerships
