Advanced Metering Implementation in ESPCs Drivers 1) Legislation Mandate – No $ 2)M&V Requirements in ESPCs 3)Utilities Cost allocation (e.g. tenants) based on actual energy consumption 4)Retro & Continuous Cx opportunities

Advanced Metering Implementation in ESPCs Discussion A)Review Technology Categories in IDIQ B)DES or ECM Cost Basis C)M&V Plan B  ECM Metering C/D  Bldg Meter (install early part of DES) D)How can metering generate ECMs

Proposed Advanced Metering implementation in ESPCs Submit cost for DES metering at IP –(Min - meter for buildings w/ECMs) NOI a)Metering plan & estimated Price See Advanced Utility Metering Subcontract Report, Sep 03, NREL/SR 710/33539 Install meters during DES –(Even if no DO- agency has metering – known cost) Submit with DES metered data for each building (electricity, natural gas, water) –ID ECM energy use as percentage of building –Agency access to data with ESCO (web based)

Benefits of Metering in ESPC (What motivates Agency & ESCO) Meets agency mandate Does not preclude stipulated M&V where appropriate ESPC Program – ESCO credibility Better data for baseline and ECM performance monitoring Increased opportunity to find/mine new savings - ECMs & Retro/Continuous Cx activity –(mod DO – negotiate % of savings for Cx) Real-time diagnostics of buildings’ performance (ESCO/Agency access to web based data) Large (tenant) installations energy billing/allocation

Metering Requirements Web-Based Utility Data

Advanced Metering Implementation in ESPCs Action Plan – Form FEMP/ESCO M&V work ESPC process integration Metering guidance input Pilot project

Other Metering Applications Identify metering plan for site – part of Save Energy Audits FEMP/Agencies –Offer REM like diagnostics of metered data for agency, cost of REM from Agency share of verified savings
