The Energy Efficiency Process❖ Portfolio Analysis
• Building inventory (name, size, use)• Baselines for each building (2-3 years, monthly)• EUIs (kBTU/square foot)• E-factor (EUI x annual energy cost/100,000)
❖ Energy Audits (including ECMs) – Level 2 audits, two alternatives:• 1 building at a time – least initial cost, can use savings to finance other efficiency improvements, can
measure the results before proceeding• All buildings – leverage travel costs, economies of scale for contractor costs, have full picture at start
❖ Preliminary financing analysis and investigation – run the numbers❖ Scopes of work❖ Contractor bids - reviewed by energy auditor to assure equipment selections will meet savings projections❖ Financing❖ Procurement❖ Implement retrofits❖ Inspections and commissioning❖ Measurement and Verification (monitoring)
