10 When does it stop???????? Growth spurts. Opportunities to improve the infrastructure of the campus. But...

13 What Facility Engineers are facing: Fewer FTE s. Less to manage the square footage you have Aging equipment Inefficient operations and energy use System failures Increasing repair costs Reductions in funding Restricted budgets Increasing energy prices Demand for greater Energy responsibility One Potential answer is: Energy Performance Contract

14 What is Energy Performance Contracting Protects the customer by requiring a performance guarantee linked to measured savings over time. Guarantees can be structured to cover all project costs, including financing, over a specified contract term, usually years

15 In other words A way to upgrade your facility without dipping into your capital budget Use future energy savings to pay for projects

16 Why do a Performance Contract? Aging infrastructure Increased Energy Costs Lack of Funding Occupancy Comfort Issues Obsolete Control Systems Degradration of the Building Envelope Operationally, get back to design specifications.

17 Financial Benefits for Performance Contracting: Paid for Through Savings Guaranteed Cost Guaranteed Savings Operate Properly Enhance Bottom Line Financial Results Reducing Operating Costs

18 Remember: This is a financial solution, not a financial problem, to an energy or capital improvement solution

19 Why we chose Performance Contract: -Low risk -No operating expense -Bid the project Contractor worked for us -If Major company was willing to finance this why wouldn t we? -Financing options available could be Budget neutral -Was not tied to any vendor or technology -True life cycle cost analysis

20 Now what do we do? Communications To Leadership Must be: Clear use your words To the point Become educated and Know what you are talking about Globally understood

22 Process Milestones Step 1 Preliminary Analysis Share information Step 2 Execute Letter of Intent for Detailed Energy Audit (DEA) Step 3 DEA Review with Customer Step 4 Execute Energy Performance Contract Agreement Step 5 Monitoring and Verification Plan Choose your partner Detailed Energy Audit (DEA) Financing structure is confirmed. Perform extensive Detailed Energy Audit (DEA) of facilities. Develop Sustainability and Energy Road Map Scope and Timing Siemens and Covenant finalize project scope and possible phasing together. Energy Performance Contract Agreeement (PCA) terms finalized and agreed upon. Construction Execute the final PCA Siemens establishes funding to execute project. Construct Facility Improvement Measures Operation Commissioning of systems Ongoing performance monitoring and verification to ensure energy savings Ongoing Energy and Sustainability Management, Planning and Support

23 Establish relationships your team This team consists of Utility Company, vendor, and hospital staff Needed to become educated about utility rebates. What they were. How do we fill these forms out. Who do we send them to and are we sure they are looked at and accepted. Who can I work with to develop applications

24 State run Rebate Opportunities: Compessed Air Lighting Chillers Motors Variable Frquency Drives HVAC Systems Building Automation Custom Rebates Chiller Plant Optimization Free Cooling Recommissioning CH received over $750,000 of incentives/rebates

25 How did we approach it? Realized we needed a team approach. Needed a local engineering firm or a large Global thinking company Vetted 4 companies Selected 1 company We were looking for
