Proprietary & Confidential IBBR Process to Evaluate Potential Energy Consumption Reduction Measures  Identify the need (what do we want/need to do and why) Will the end result: Improve operational efficiency? Improve operational reliability? Reduce operational cost? Improve lab/workspace environment?  Identify impact on labs and occupants (+/-) Workmen in the labs/workspaces Temperature/humidity conditions Effect of final result of the project  Safety concerns  Funding sources and incentives  Payback on investment  Image 2

Proprietary & Confidential Strategy to Implement Projects  Frame basic scope of work  Identify all stake holders  Engage stake holders in project planning and scheduling(flesh out final scope of work)  Identify funding mechanism(s)  Procure services  Communicate the plan to contractors/installers  Monitor, Evaluate and Revise the plan as the situation requires.  Provide what you promise, communicate what you can’t  Follow up on and clear outstanding issues  Obtain stake holder buy in on job completion (make adjustments if necessary) 4

Input includes: chillers, tower fans condenser pumps and chilled water 2. ESA is the Engineering Site Analysis that took place prior to optimization 9 Estimated Efficiency from the ESA of the Current Plant=0.882 kW/ton Estimated Efficiency from the ESA of the Current Plant Optimized=0.647 kW/ton.882 Current.647 Projected 27% Efficiency Improvement

14 Copyright © 2015 Optimum Energy LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary & Confidential Impact of Dynamic Control on Dilution Rates 1.5 L spill of acetone in 200 sq ft lab room, 1 sq. m spill After vaporized, dynamic system hits TLV in 20 vs. 60 min After 2 hours dynamic control has dropped level to 2.6 PPM – After 2 hours, 6 ACH system is at 302 PPM or 116 times higher! Dynamic control approach is always less than 6 ACH baseline 15 min. detection time still better than 6 ACH baseline! Lower initial ACH helps!

18 Copyright © 2015 Optimum Energy LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary & Confidential Lighting Retrofit Objective 18 The objective of the this project is to optimize fixture spacing in lab spaces to provide an average illuminance on the desktop/bench top of 50 foot candles and 10-20 foot candles on non-working surfaces. In so doing we intended to reduce total lighting consumption by 50%.
