Energy and Air Quality Conference April 5, 2004 Innovative financing, support, and solutions for Implementing Energy Projects
Energy Services Companies • Turn key approach to energy and water conservation • Audits, engineering, project management, construction management, financing, and ongoing measurement & verification of savings
Energy Performance Contracting • A method to make facility improvements paid from guaranteed savings in energy* and operating budgets. • Virginia, Maryland, and the District have passed specific legislation to support Performance Contracting for public agencies. *Including water and sewer savings.
Typical Building Problems • Inefficient operation • Old equipment • Ventilation problems • Hot and cold spots • Noise
Typical Conservation Measures • Lighting retrofits • Control system upgrades • Building management systems • Chiller and boiler replacements • Air handling system modifications • Distributed generation • Renewable energy
Project Development • Client and ESCO agree on general project scope. • Utility usage baselined • Facilities surveyed for operating characteristics and conservation opportunities • ESCO creates list of recommendations with cost, savings, and potential financing options. • Client and ESCO agree on scope of work • Contract is negotiated • Financing is obtained • Project begins
Project Funding • Budgeted Capital • Bonding • Municipal Lease • ESCO ownership • Grants and rebates • Other sources
Measurement & Verification • FEMP standards dictate four M&V choices • Typical project includes a mix of utility bill monitoring, metering, and stipulated savings • Baseline is established during CEA and is matched to the expected post implementation M&V approach. • The type of conservation measures and cost will guide the development of the best M&V approach
