A holistic view
Roger Wigfield Mike O’Connor
Comprehensive Resource Management
Resource Management is frequently addressed only in
“project” sized bites, never as a “program”
The current OSPI and Department of Commerce
funding creates an opportunity to initiate a
comprehensive resource plan
Comprehensive resource planning will reap benefits in
improved facilities, lower utility costs, and a reduction
in future capital project costs for years to come
Elements of a Comprehensive Approach
Ongoing Activities
*
Resource management
*
Maintenance management
*
Personnel management
*
Systems management
Project Based Activities
*
ESPC Projects
Resource Conservation Management
Efficient Operations and Behavioral Changes
* Small adjustments save a lot of energy and money with minimal
impact to occupants
Organizational Participation
* Direction and support from upper-level management
* Institutional wisdom from the trenches
* Designated person to coordinate – Resource Conservation Manager
Partnership
Resource Management
Resource Accounting
*
Tracking and trending
>Identify outliers, unexplained changes, billing errors, rate changes
*
Graphing and communicating results
*
Sub-metering & Interval Data
>Analyze consumption by end use (lighting, plugload, HVAC)
>Like-space comparison
>Daily peak loads and demand leveling
Resource Conservation Management
New way of doing business
*
Federal and State Attention
>Call for energy conservation and independence
>Greenhouse Gas reduction and EnergyStar™ requirements
*
Budget Crisis
>Less money spent on utilities, more on jobs and programs
>RCM pays for itself; additional savings reinvested in conservation
*
Economic Recovery
>Established conservation ethic
Maintenance Management
Maintenance Management Systems
Smart purchasing and system replacement
* High efficiency motors
* Toilets
* Irrigation systems
* Lights
* Chillers, boilers, heat pumps
Trending of HVAC Systems
* Weekly review of system trend data can save 10% or more off utility
Personnel Management
The right person in the right place
*
Resource Conservation Manager
*
Utility bill analysis
*
HVAC technician to review system logs
*
Consider departmental assignments – “Plumber in charge of
water savings”
Training
Systems Management
Metering & verification of individual energy using
systems
*
M&V can be set up by an ESCO
*
Ongoing activities can be done by HVAC personnel
Systems Management
System commissioning for not only capital and ESCO
projects, but on an ongoing basis
*
Most systems require commissioning at least every five years
*
It is important that commissioning include field verification by
trained personnel, and include system trending (metering)

Energy Savings Performance Contracting
What is ESPC?
*
The most cost-effective process for completing building energy
upgrades
*
A means to use utility savings to pay all project costs
*
A partnership of the owner, the ESCO (energy service
company) and the GA Energy Team
The current opportunity regarding ESPC funding
*
OSPI funding
Energy Savings Performance Contracting
What can be done with ESPC projects through the
leveraging of these grant funds
*
“Standard” upgrades
>Lighting, controls, boilers, chillers, heat pumps, water conservation,
irrigation systems
*
“Shell” improvements
>Windows, doors, roofs?
*
Sustainable systems
>Solar thermal and PV, ground source heat pumps, even small
Energy Savings Performance Contracting
What else can be done with ESPC projects through
the leveraging of these grant funds
*
Ongoing maintenance of savings
>Monitoring/Metering & Verification
>Building sub-metering
>Ongoing commissioning
Capital Projects
Renovations
*
If energy using system are involved, consider using ESPC
>Capital funding can be leveraged with grant funds to create a
larger project with more energy savings and improvements
>The benefits of ESPC can improve the project
• Guaranteed costs, savings and performance • Use of preselected contractors
• Use of your choice of equipment
New construction
*
Standards (codes, efficiency standards, etc) do not create
efficient buildings or systems – People do! (or don’t…)
Now is the time for action!
A unique need
* National security
* Economic and fiscal tightening
* Need to retain jobs in public facilities, and create jobs in the economy
A unique opportunity to use ESPC to leverage yourself into a comprehensive
resource plan
* Save 30% to 40% off your utility bills and keep it off!
* Receive grant funds and incentives to pay $2 for every $1 you invest
* Use this as an opportunity to create a long term plan, and start the implementation
immediately!
