2 How Much Do You Know About Your Energy Costs? Value of Information Are your building start up strategies appropriate? Is the timing appropriate based on building use? Should you be pre-chilling the building? Should you have used on site generation during the period due to the high cost of electricity. Are your performance contractors in compliance with their contracts? How much of your savings can be attributed to the contractors vs. external variables (e.g. weather). Are you on the best rate based on how you consume energy? Are 3rd party tenants being billed appropriately? Are you recovering your costs? Did you consume energy during non operational hours? Did you set a new demand ratchet level? What was the financial impact? Is your equipment operating at stated efficiency standards? Do they require maintenance? Should they be replaced? What was your energy spend? Usage? By facility? By Cost Centre? Enterprise Wide? How does it compare to prior years? Why? Were you over/under budget? Why? Were you bills calculated correctly? Which facilities consume the most energy per sqft?

3 Current Challenges You Can t Manage What You Don t Measure Limited and Varied access to data for analysis Bill Data is accessible, but not timely is non existent or limited» Data availability will vary from site to site» Data quality inconsistent across sites» Variability between LDC s and their ability to provide Limited and Varied data analysis tools Spreadsheet information silos Lack of an enterprise view Lack of integration to other systems, markets» Transform raw data to information Limited & Varied Resources Financial Human

4 Enterprise Energy Management EEM is the integration of all energy related business processes into a complete management system Facility Mgrs, Corporate Energy Mgrs Analyze & Act Push and Pull "Technologies Enterprise Wide, All Commodities Just in Time Data (15-minute, daily etc.) (Revenue meters, BMS, SCADA, submeters) Manage Collect Measure Data Enrichment (Weather, Sqft, RTP, Rates) PSTN, Network, Handheld Bill Data Energy Consuming Equipment & Facilities Industrial Commercial Residential

5 EEM An Integrated Approach Improved Financial Management Reduce risk exposure with:» Improved budgeting and tracking» Checking bills for errors and paying on-time» Allocating costs reliably Energy Efficient Operations Reduce energy consumption with:» Setting accurate baselines» Pushing down energy conservation and tracking goals» Monitoring performance improvements or degradation» Managing demand Optimized Procurement Lower average energy prices by:» Understanding consumption for negotiating contracts» Determining rate and tariff options» Load Aggregation Operational Efficiency Financial Management Optimized Procurement

7 Benefits of Enterprise Energy Management Drive Cost Savings by Effectively Managing your Energy Enterprise wide, integrated energy data repository Incorporates all relevant data (Bills, Interval, Prices, ERP, Market, Weather, etc.) Provides real time access to data for proactive management Perform Powerful Analysis Understand true energy cost drivers Accurately predict energy requirements Perform complex rate/volume analysis Benchmark long term trends in performance Measures performance (internal and external) Apply advanced application capabilities Proactive and prioritized event management Proactively manage demand Automate processes to reduce time & errors Allocate true costs to each cost center Audit both use and cost calculations on bills Push relevant information to where it is needed

8 Recommended Approach Think Big Need a Enterprise Wide vision Start Smart» Executive Level sponsorship & commitment» Beyond the facility/site manager Different approaches all of which can be valid» Alignment of business goals with existing environment Consideration for budget constraints, resource constraints etc. Establish quick wins Leverage existing assets Scale Fast Evolutionary not revolutionary approach» Not just a point in time analysis Leverage what you learn
