Confidential Retro-commissioning combines commissioning practices with optimization practices for existing buildings/ facilities: existing equipment, systems and controls Operations typically “drift” away from normal operations decreasing efficiency and increasing energy costs. Deficiencies can be identified and addressed through site inspection/ testing and trend data analysis. New control technologies can be installed and programmed to further optimize performance and efficiency. Retro-Commissioning Refresher Enhanced RCx 9

Confidential Data Analytics Enhanced RCx 13
14
Confidential Retro-commissioning combines commissioning practices with optimization practices for existing buildings/ facilities: existing equipment, systems and controls FD&D software in conjunction with existing DDC controls can monitor and identify improper operations that affect energy use and costs. By the use of “Rules”, FD&D is programmed to determine when a system is not operating correctly, identify what needs to be corrected, and what the impact of an issue is.

Confidential Retro-commissioning combines commissioning practices with optimization practices for existing buildings/ facilities: existing equipment, systems and controls Identification of energy saving measures for HVAC, lighting & controls –The RCx process is accelerated via the use of FD&D or Data Analytics with deeper implemented savings. Incentives: (up to 50% of measure cost) –Advanced lighting measures $0.03/kWh –Non-lighting measures$0.08/kWh –Advanced non-lighting measures$0.15/kWh –Peak demand reduction $150/kW The ability to maintain ongoing savings and operation visibility Program Benefits Enhanced RCx 16
17
Confidential For new EMS, Automated Demand Response (ADR) functionality is an add- on module. Available from multiple vendors and can be a combined with the FDD. Incentives available to complete an Auto DR technical study and an available $300 per kW up to 100% of installed cost. Auto DR, A Complimentary Offering Enhanced RCx 17
18
Confidential Scope the facility Review interval data & walk the facility. Is there ample opportunity? Investigate the facility Detailed data driven investigation at no cost to the customer Identify ERCx measures and provide feasibility report with energy and cost savings. Implement selected ERCx measures Save energy, energy costs and earn incentives. Verify savings M&V makes sure you are saving energy and money. Incentives are paid out to customers. Maintain energy savings FDD real time data provide visibility and alerts to operators OR Utilize periodic reports from interval meter analysis for identifying high-level issues How It Works Enhanced RCx 18
19
Confidential SCE customers committed to implementing energy savings measures Large commercial and industrial facilities with of 100,000 square feet or larger Similar facility types that could benefit from HVAC and lighting control based measures. Preferably sites with an existing DDC Building Automation System Eligibility and Signing Customers Enhanced RCx 19
