P RIMARY G OALS Maintain Comfort & Safety  Audit buildings during unoccupied times  Monitor building usage and comfort during occupied times  Coordinate usage of facilities with equipment/system run times  Monitor operational efficiency of equipment vs. design

P RIMARY G OALS Eliminate Energy Waste  Change the energy use patterns and habits of staff  Track & analyze consumption for building efficiency  Use web-based tools & diagnostic loggers to solve problems  Support energy policy and follow guidelines

P RIMARY G OALS Save Dollars  Minimize consumption and demand charges  Audit and monitor utility bills & meters for errors or overcharges  Evaluate usage trends for abnormalities  Investigate rebate & grant programs  Create a “climate of conservation” that ensures sustainable savings

M EASUREMENT + V ERIFICATION Measurement and Verification (M&V)  Terminology used to describe the practice of measuring energy savings and verifying cost avoidance You keep score!!  We are using an industry leading M&V tool called EnergyCAP®  All data, adjustments and reports produced and available for review by district staff

M EASUREMENT + V ERIFICATION EnergyCAP meets International Guidelines for M&V  The U.S. Department of Energy headed the effort to develop a written guideline for M&V that became the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (U.S. Department of Energy document — DOE/GO ) EnergyCAP is an independent third-party software product in full compliance with this guideline.  EnergyCAP Inc., State College, PA

M EASUREMENT + V ERIFICATION The guideline prescribes that certain usage adjustments be made to account for:  Changes in weather  Changes in building square footage and portable buildings  Changes in mechanical systems and new technology  Differences in the length of billing cycles from month to month

M EASUREMENT + V ERIFICATION The guideline prescribes that energy saved should be valued:  Using the Average Unit Cost (AUC) method  Based on current energy prices  By applying the AUC meter by meter to the adjusted or expected usage for that meter
