  1. Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings in Brazil – Guidelines for Implementation Anand Subbiah, Nexant Inc. April 30, 2002, Kubitschek Plaza Hotel, Brasilia, Brazil

  2. Implementation Steps – Preliminary Audit • Preliminary identification of potential for improvement in buildings energy systems • Invitation to for preliminary energy audit • Proposals based on preliminary audit • Estimated baseline energy consumption • Annual estimated cost savings over life of project • Annual guaranteed cost savings over life of project • Annual contractor payment • Federal agency share of cost savings • Estimated investments

  3. Implementation Steps – Detailed Audit • Acceptance of preliminary proposal and invitation for detailed energy audit • Preparation of Statement of Work/Request for Proposal • Facility performance requirements – lighting standards, HVAV standards, etc. • Select ESCO(s) • Site Visit • Detailed facility energy audit

  4. Implementation Steps – Detailed Audit • Detailed Audit Report • Measure Description • Confirmation of preliminary audit findings • Revisions to Energy Consumption Baseline, Cost Savings, Guaranteed Savings, and Investment Plan • Monitoring and Verification Plan • Baseline confirmation • Verification of savings • Identification of variables – operating hours • Annual energy audit for verification of savings

  5. Implementation Steps – Detailed Audit • Detailed Audit Report • Operation and Maintenance Plan • ESCO/Contractor role • Federal agency role • Replacement of equipment • Training for Building Personnel • Payment Plan • Annual amortized payment for investments + profit • Annual payment for O&M + profit • Annual federal agency share of cost savings • Reconciliation of payments based on M&V and annual audit
