iSU Efficiency Performance Contracting Reducing Wastes and Costs through Innovative Supply Contracts Energy Management Seminar November 13, 2008 Thomas J. Bierma, MBA, Ph.D., Environmental Health Program Illinois State University
iSU Research since 1995 Change incentives for suppliers to pay for performance and savings rather than “stuff.” Does it work? Funded by the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Manufacturing SME Typical Spend in Key Non-Core Areas Total spend: $0.5 – $2 million/yr Energy spend: $0.2 – $.9 million/yr
Question… iSU How much could these costs be reduced by implementing projects with a payback period of…. 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? 4 years?
Question… iSU Yet these opportunities go untapped year after year… Why?
A Major Cause… iSU • Core Competence • “The key skills or knowledge needed to build and maintain a competitive edge.” (Quinn 1994). • These technologies lie outside the core competence of the business, so time and money go elsewhere.
Question… iSU Since suppliers have this core competence… can we create incentives so suppliers apply that competence to increase customer efficiency rather than only sell them “stuff?”
Answer… iSU For chemicals – Absolutely! Chemical Management Services (CMS)
Answer… iSU For tooling – Absolutely! Tooling Management Contracts
Answer… iSU For energy in the M.U.S.H market – Absolutely! ESCOs Energy savings performance contracts
Question… iSU Can we learn from these examples to create a market in energy savings outside the M.U.S.H. market? (for the rest of us?)
What the customer (energy user) wants iSU Savings and performance – not “stuff” Work with one, trusted supplier Pay for it out of savings – if possible
What is the lowest-hanging fruit? iSU • Lighting • Waste heat recovery • Compressed air • Cooling • What else?
iSU One supplier? • Can one supplier handle all these? • Would it require an alliance of suppliers? • Who would lead the alliance?
iSU Financial Incentives • Two models • Pay-for-performance / Shared savings • Sole supplier with targets
iSU Capital Financing? • Delta Institute, Chicago • non-profit, member of CCX • Will there be additional Federal incentives?
iSU Discussion • We have not found working examples of this yet in our research. • Are there ideas about how to create it, or how to improve it?
