KEEE UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

We are uniquely qualified in our areas of expertise – energy consulting services, business advisory services, environmental consulting services, scientific and technical assistance for the following reasons:

1. We have experience providing energy consulting services to federal agencies such as the United States Department of Army, Army National Guard (ARNG), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Interior (DOI) and Health and Human Services (HHS); state agencies such as Consumer Counselor and Attorney General offices; local institutions such as counties and cities. We have performed international work related to countries such as Kenya, Japan and South Korea. This gives us a unique perspective and understanding of what providing energy services at different levels entails.

2. We consult on a wide range of energy and environment related topics including energy conservation, water conservation, renewable energy, sustainability, climate, energy audit, water audit, utility bill audit, energy pricing, utility rate, air pollution, Clean Air Act (CAA) compliance, other environmental compliance and energy efficiency.

3. We help our clients comply with federal sustainability/climate Executive Orders (EOs) and other energy/environmental policies. We develop Sustainability and Climate Plans, provide a road map for implementation and track the progress of these plans. As part of the planning process, we review a client’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) inventory, identify focus areas and facilitate stakeholder processes to engage stakeholders. We review best practices, generate sustainability goals, objectives, initiatives and metrics, and develop a Strategic Sustainability Plan (SSP) based on stakeholder input.

4. We provide direct on-site professional support personnel to work with the Logistics, Installations and Environmental Divisions of federal agencies. Our on-site support personnel have the background, knowledge and experience to recommend energy & water conservation options; renewable energy actions;

land & waste management practices and materials procurement techniques.

They are experienced in managing the monitoring, tracking and reporting of energy, water and wastewater consumption to energy, water, and waste databases, such as Army databases AEWRS and SWARWeb.

5. We provide strategic communications related to our energy, water and waste recommendations within and outside the agencies. These include developing Sustainability Communications and Community Involvement plans for agencies.

We develop sustainability and climate related articles, memos, summaries, briefing slides, talking points and information papers for agency leadership. We help with newsletters, factsheets, events and online content related to these topics. We assist our clients with applying for awards and grants and developing partnerships. We participate in community outreach events, host educational booths and activities.

6. We help our clients achieve their Net-Zero Energy and Water goals by performing energy assessments and energy modeling, and developing energy reports. We calculate the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of buildings, use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (ESPM) data to benchmark buildings against similar buildings and conduct detailed utility consumption and billing analyses.

7. We conduct feasibility studies to estimate the benefits and determine the viability of energy efficiency programs, renewable energy, distributed power options and innovative clean energy technologies. We perform life-cycle cost analyses (LCCAs), estimate the emission savings from these programs and use the EPA’s GHG Equivalencies calculator to convert these savings to CO2 Equivalent values.

We examine the funding and financing available for these programs including loans, rebates, grants, and incentives.

8. We provide training on energy and environmental issues through on-site, off-site courses and webinars for Energy Managers, Facility Managers and other personnel. We present written and oral testimony on energy, environment and economics issues.

9. We have provided technical assistance, environmental assistance and business advisory services to RTI International on EPA’s Economic Analyses and Control Strategy Development for Air Pollution Control Regulations (such as related to NESHAP and MACT) project since 2011. The project scope of work includes performing literature searches; providing economic and regulatory analyses;

developing industry profiles; conducting small business screening analyses;

modeling and programming capabilities; docket, comment, workshop and hearing support; performing research studies and developing research reports.

10. We estimate the economic impact of entities and regulations. In the past we estimated the economic impact of DOE’s Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), the economic impact of NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) and Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), the economic impact of Paul D. Camp Community College (PDCCC) and the economic impact of air pollution control regulations for the EPA, and conducted surveys.

11. We create policies for our clients by reviewing existing policies and programs if any, incorporating elements of existing programs, and conducting gap analysis to develop updated/new policies. We study the impacts of a policy and develop economic impact analysis (EIA), regulatory impact analysis (RIA) and other reports. We provide public comment and peer review support and revise the reports based on public and reviewer input. We made small business-related policy recommendations to the Small Business Administration (SBA), identified policy benefits, developed draft and final reports with input from reviewers.

12. We conduct sensitivity/risk analyses for our customers, such as analyzing the sensitivity of economic impacts to the stringency of regulations, or the cost of utility resource plans to energy prices.

13. We perform peer reviews of documents. We select and screen reviewers, provide review instructions, receive and categorize comments and provide the organized comments and peer review report to our clients.

14. We help businesses and organizations develop organizational engagement plans through internal training strategies for management and personnel. The purpose of these strategies is to increase awareness and train personnel for implementation of new policies and procedures.

15. Our projects are performed under the guidance of a Ph.D. economist with broad expertise in the energy sector; knowledge of economic, policy, regulatory issues;

background in environmental justice and sustainability issues; experience with market-based compliance approaches and providing scientific and technical assistance.

16. Our Support Team includes analysts with diverse backgrounds in economics, engineering, science and sustainability, and experience in policy issues. The team includes statisticians and econometricians; financial, economic and energy modelers; industrial and electrical engineers and project managers. Depending on the needs of an energy project we can assemble a team at short notice that includes Economists, Professional Engineers (P.E.), Certified Energy Managers (CEM) and LEED Accredited Professionals, with experience in several states.

17. We bring an economics perspective to the strategic services we provide, so they are not just technically feasible solutions but also economically optimal in terms of how they affect the bottom line of our clients.

18. We are problem solvers with a human element. For our analyses, we rely more on human analysis versus just running data through a software program.

19. We are capable of performing well on small and large, multi-year, IDIQ contracts.

We can conduct large and complex analyses in a short turnaround timeframe.
