SYSTEM COMPONENTS Weighting of Selection Criteria FACTORS WEIGHT System Economics (Business Case; Balancing CapEx & OpEx) Weigh the costs and payback of each system 9 Community Finances (Effect on North Bayshore & Mt View Collective Budget) Weigh the business potential of each system to North Bayshore and Mountain View 9 Infrastructure Aesthetics & Open Space Assess the benefit or challenge each system may pose to the character or creation of public spaces 5 Reliability (Municipal System Enhancement / Disaster Prep) Ability of each system to provide a backup to municipal infrastructure or to provide critical functionality in the event of disruption 9 Regulatory Compliance (i.e. AB32, CEQUA, C3) The extent to which each system can assist the city in achieving compliance with legislated performance objectives 4 Future-Proofing / Resiliency (Adaptability) The ability of each system be effective & easy to use in potential environmental, regulatory, administrative or other future conditions 7 Social Sustainability (Public Awareness / Access / Equality) The extent to which each system can enhance public opportunities for use, involvement, exploration or enlightenment 6 Environmental Sustainability (Carbon/Resource Efficiency / Habitat & Ecology / Health) Rate the benefits or reductions in damage to the natural world each system provides 9 Leadership (Innovation / Inspiration) The ability for each system to provide an example to other municipalities and or bring positive press or references 5 Choosing by Advantages

THERMAL ENERGY Rough Comparison to Building Scale Assumptions: 1.Used % premium from VRF @ NBV: CapEx (CWL was $37.3M vs VRF $31.3M) O&M (CWL was $.50/sf vs VRF $1.15/sf 2.Energy performance predicted by DEF: 8.5% less energy needed annually Years <4 years<6 years~6 years
