Current Energy Assessment Eligibility Must be a public sector facility Must be located in the electric and gas delivery territories of Ameren Illinois, ComEd, Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas or North Shore Gas Must be at least 20,000 sf Must have potential for significant savings Existing buildings and new construction are eligible SEDAC energy assessments are funded by Ameren Illinois, ComEd, Nicor, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas customers, in compliance with Illinois law. 18
Retro-commissioning (RCx) Improve the control, scheduling, and operation of a building Identify low-cost to nocost energy savings improvements that have a payback of 18 months or less 19
RCx: What s Involved? In-depth site assessment o Analysis of energy bills o Benchmarking o Analysis of Building Automation systems Detailed report with contractor pricing Implementation support Verification of energy savings 20
RCx Program Eligibility Receive electrical delivery service from ComEd, regardless of supplier. Public buildings receiving natural gas from Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas may also be eligible for inclusion of natural gas savings measures. Must be a public facility, such as a government, municipal, or public school Building size should be at least 150,000 (gross) square feet Should have a functioning building automation system (BAS), and the client agrees to provide BAS access to the RCx provider Energy use index (indices) must show a potential to produce significant electrical and natural gas savings through RCx Have not had an RCx study done in the last 3 years Peak demand must be less than 10 MW 21
RCx Program RCx analysis provided by ComEd, Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas at no cost to the customer. Participants must agree to commit $10,000 to implement RCx measures. Participants have the flexibility to utilize in-house staff or an outside contractor to implement these measures. Learn more: rcx.sedac.org rcx@sedac.org 800.214.7954 22
