Energy and Air Quality Conference April 5, 2004 Innovative financing, support, and solutions for Implementing Energy Projects

Energy Services Companies  Turn key approach to energy and water conservation  Audits, engineering, project management, construction management, financing, and ongoing measurement & verification of savings

Energy Performance Contracting  A method to make facility improvements paid from guaranteed savings in energy* and operating budgets.  Virginia, Maryland, and the District have passed specific legislation to support Performance Contracting for public agencies. *Including water and sewer savings.

Typical Building Problems  Inefficient operation  Old equipment  Ventilation problems  Hot and cold spots  Noise

Typical Conservation Measures  Lighting retrofits  Control system upgrades  Building management systems  Chiller and boiler replacements  Air handling system modifications  Distributed generation  Renewable energy

Project Development  Client and ESCO agree on general project scope.  Utility usage baselined  Facilities surveyed for operating characteristics and conservation opportunities  ESCO creates list of recommendations with cost, savings, and potential financing options.  Client and ESCO agree on scope of work  Contract is negotiated  Financing is obtained  Project begins

Project Funding  Budgeted Capital  Bonding  Municipal Lease  ESCO ownership  Grants and rebates  Other sources

Measurement & Verification  FEMP standards dictate four M&V choices  Typical project includes a mix of utility bill monitoring, metering, and stipulated savings  Baseline is established during CEA and is matched to the expected post implementation M&V approach.  The type of conservation measures and cost will guide the development of the best M&V approach
