5 Building a better tomorrow today integrated occupancy control + lighting projects An integrated approach to the management of the electrical, lighting, mechanical and security services within a building or facility. ECS s state of the art lighting control system the Managed Lighting System (MLS) offers maximum energy savings with the highest level of flexibility.

6 Lighting Products Motion detectors to automate control of lighting Efficient light fitting upgrades Voltage reduction equipment Daylight harvesting to reduce powered lighting

7 Building a better tomorrow today greener and cleaner + air conditioning ECS Air-conditioning solutions use clean and recyclable energies. Powered by waste heat, solar and biogas, ECS incorporates BROAD central air-conditioning products into energy efficiency projects and performance contracts.

8 BROAD Air-Conditioning Products Absorption chillers for efficient air-conditioning Multi-energy chillers for Tri-generation Can be fueled by waste heat, solar thermal and biogas Many thousands of BROAD chillers already in use world-wide

27 Energy Performance Contract ECMs Co-generation Solar Cooling Waste heat / cooling recovery Solar Panels / PV

28 EPC Innovation Many EPC contracts have led to ground breaking solutions being introduced. e.g. Ipswich Hospital has the first Solar Cooling system installed using a Broad Absorbtion Chiller to provide Cooling for the Hospital. ECS received an Award for Excellence from AIRAH for this innovation.

29 Energy Performance Contract Process

30 Energy Performance Contract Process TRADITIONAL Not outcome focussed Customer assumes risk of performance Customer must project-manage every step Customer must become expert in each energy technology High manpower loading means each project is delivered in sequence (it can take years!) Typically no focus on recording and reporting savings ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACT Designed to deliver energy savings Lets the experts take the risk Turn key delivery: from analysis to commissioning and monitoring The EPC contractor s core business is energy efficiency Bundle projects Relies on accurate M&V to prove savings

31 Energy Performance Contract Process

32 Energy Performance Contract Process EPC Methodology ECS has a well-defined project delivery methodology. It has been tried and tested across many projects across Australia, from simple single technology projects to Australia wide roll outs of complex control systems in critical sites.

33 Energy Performance Contract Process

34 Energy Performance Contract Process

35 EPC Facilitators External EPC specialist to help customers understand their obligations provide all relevant information evaluate proposals establish reasonable conditions and obligations in the EPC understand the procurement process, DFS and EPC contracts, M&V, financing, etc

36 Energy Performance Contract Process Energy Audit & Preliminary Proposal Analysis of utility bills for performance and dependencies Identification of energy saving opportunities Evaluate the feasibility of identified energy conservation measures including renewable energy and cogeneration projects Discussions with site personnel to determine problem areas, strategies used before, critical plant issues Prioritise systems, identifying major energy consumers Determine operational standards, relevant Aust Stds, customer s own standards Logging of critical plant performance vs. energy consumption Measurement of outcomes, lighting levels, conditions in various zones, airflows etc Identify system losses: hot water systems, compressed air systems, etc Inspection of all equipment for age and condition

37 Energy Performance Contract Process Energy Audit & Preliminary Proposal Identify energy saving opportunities Seek out heat reclaim opportunities Demand management options Benchmarking of performance against similar facilities in the ECS database Analysis and benchmarking of results against local data and international case studies Desktop analysis of systems viewed during site visit Analysis of alternate systems Investigation of fundraising/grant options (eg Co-Generation Grants, PV Grants, Renewable Energy Credits) Report to customer on cost effective projects with capital cost and savings detailed to +/- 20%

38 Energy Performance Contract Process Detailed Facility Study Complete system evaluation and conservation measure design Source and cost all elements.. Financial evaluations, project cost offered as fixed price, turn-key delivery, guaranteed minimum savings defined Selection of proposed options to meet customer defined requirements Development of suitable Monitoring and Verification Plan Develop time and resource schedule for implementation Develop Maintenance Schedule Presentation, comprehensive report + verbal presentation

39 Energy Performance Contract Process Implementation ECS Project Manager assigned to provide single point of contact Design Review conducted at time of submitting Works Specification Co-ordinate each area of works with appropriate customer staff Induction of installation sub contractors to site including all OH&S and special site conditions Co-ordination of system commissioning and cut over Commissioning sign off System monitoring starts as per M&V Plan Handover of System Operation and Maintenance Manuals Instruction on operation and maintenance of new systems Staff training as required

40 Energy Performance Contract Process Monitoring & Verification Implement M&V in accordance with agreed M&V plan Conduct preliminary M&V quarterly in first year to ensure savings are being achieved Meet at least quarterly with Customer in first year to discuss M&V and to handle any baseline alterations Deliver M&V Reports in accordance with plan, written and verbal, ongoing meeting with customer to ensure satisfaction with performance and to monitor baseline Provide ongoing support and customer training as necessary Tune systems as required to ensure maximum savings
