Energy and Water Efficiency Monthly Report

1.0 General: This energy and water efficiency report is to be completed per the requirements of section 5.6, Energy & Water Efficiency, of the O&M services contract. The Contractor shall use this report template and submit completed reports as part of the monthly report to the Facility Manager.

2.0 Energy and Water Efficiency Reporting Template. The Contractor shall use this template to complete the energy and water efficiency report sections for “Contract Information” and “Contractor Reporting Elements.” The GSA Property Manager shall complete the section “GSA Review and Response Elements.”

Contract Information Contract Number:

Energy Technology & Analytic Tools Available at this Building:

Annual Performance Target (To be filled out by in conjunction with the regional energy coordinator and the facility manager at the beginning of the Contractor’s performance period and 1 year thereafter until the end of contract)

If actual energy or water usage is not within target variance, please provide narrative justification:

If actual energy or water usage is not improving relative to previous year, please provide justification:

a. Current cycle ending month refers to the most recent month in which data is available. EUAS and utility invoices are typically not available until 45 days after the month’s end. E.g. June data is available around August 15th.

b. EUAS data is reported in cubic feet. 100 cubic feet = 1 CCF = 1 Therm

c. Other energy can refer to biomass or other purchased utilities that should add to show total building energy consumption

d. Total mmBTU = (3,413 X kWh + 1.031 X 100 Cubic Feet + 1,000,000 X MLB + 12,000 X Ton-Hours ) / 1,000,000

e. Water is sometimes billed on quarterly (3 month) intervals. If water is billed quarterly, use the total quarterly value from the most recent quarter available.

If yes, what is the cause? Is it something that can be replicated across additional GSA buildings?

If yes, what is the cause?

Please describe any planned adjustments to operations or physical changes to the building (by the Contractor, a project, or at the request of tenants) since the last report that may result in improved energy or water efficiency.

Please describe any planned adjustments to operations or changes made to the building (by the Contractor, a project, or at the request of tenants) since the last report that may result in increased energy or water usage.

Were planned adjustments from the last report implemented?
