Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings in Brazil – Guidelines for Implementation Anand Subbiah, Nexant Inc. April 30, 2002, Kubitschek Plaza Hotel, Brasilia, Brazil
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
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
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
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
Implementation Steps – Detailed Audit • Detailed Audit Report • Financing Plan • ESCO/Contractor financing • Third party financing • Management Approach • Management team • Project staffing • Qualifications, skill, experience • Schedule for implementation • Past Performance and Project Experience
Implementation Steps – Proposal Evaluation • Proposal Evaluation Factors • Technical • Engineering • Energy baseline • Energy savings • O&M plan • M&V plan • Annual audit for verification
Implementation Steps – Proposal Evaluation • Proposal Evaluation Factors • Management • Management organization • Roles and responsibilities • Qualification and experience of personnel • Quality control measures • Past Performance • Project experience • Company qualifications
Implementation Steps – Proposal Evaluation • Proposal Evaluation Factors • Cost Proposal • Performance Risk Assessment • Price Realism • Best Overall Value
Overview of FEMP Program in USA • DOE Program to promote energy efficiency in federal buildings • Annual budget of $25 million • Annual Federal Energy Bill - $4 billion • Savings achieved – 20% per square foot • Target – 30% by 2005
