© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Creating Demand – 3 Magic Questions 1.“Do you know how much you’re spending on energy today?” 2.“Do you know how that compares to similar buildings in this market?” 3.“If I could identify opportunities to immediately reduce your operating costs and improve cash flow, would you be interested in learning more?” “To get started I just need to collect a few pieces of information from you.”

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Information Needed  Last 12-months utility bills  Facility usage  Facility size  Occupancy information  Conditioned floor space

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Building Types Supported by ENERGY STAR  Primary Space Types –Bank / Financial Institution –Courthouse –Dormitory / Residence Hall –Hospital –Hotel –Houses of Worship –K-12 School  Secondary Space Types –Data Center –Parking –Swimming Pool –Medical Office –Multifamily Housing –Office –Retail –Supermarket / Grocery –Warehouse

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Understanding Utility Bills – Units of Energy Electricity –kW  Demand (Power) Instantaneous requirement for power Utility must have generating capacity to meet all customers’ demand for power –kWh  Consumption (Energy) Electrical usage over time (Power x Time) Natural Gas –Therms  energy content 1 therm = 100,000 btu –CCF  volume 1 ccf = 100 cubic feet

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. A Big Difference Between Electricity and Gas Natural gas can be stored Electricity can’t This drives major differences in how we are charged for these utilities

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. How We Are Charged for Electricity 10 – 100 watt light bulbs Power = 10 x 100 = 1000 watts Power = 1 kW Consumption = Power x Time Consumption = 1 kW x 1 hr Consumption = 1 kWh
