MAS 541690E: Energy Consulting Services

EEI has provided Energy and Sustainability Consulting for 36 years. We identify holistic building environmental-saving solutions and implement conservation measures to maximize the performance and efficiency of buildings, leading to energy, water, waste and carbon reductions all while reducing facility operating costs.

Energy Management Planning and Strategies

Consulting / Auditing / Energy Management

We typically begin with a Client Objectives meeting, followed by an audit/assessment of the portfolio of building systems. Once we understand the client objectives, we can deploy data analytic tools to target the highest opportunity buildings. From there, various strategies can be developed to achieve the client’s goals, be it energy, water, waste and carbon reductions or Net Zero carbon planning. We will collaborate to implement the best path for successful outcomes depending on the goal.

Energy Audits

Energy audits assess how buildings use energy and identify energy-saving opportunities. A Basic Audit consists of a facility walk-through to identify and examine specific problem areas. A Detailed Audit includes a comprehensive analysis and study of building systems and detailed recommendations for energy cost-saving measures. In both cases, EEI helps clients determine their objectives and develops a custom scope of services for their needs.

Basic Audit

• Short interviews with site personnel

• Brief review of facility utility bills and operating data

• Building walk-through focused on facility operation

• Report with basic corrective measures

The report identifies significant energy waste and inefficiency areas and provides basic corrective actions, including implementation costs, savings, and simple payback period estimates. A basic audit helps prioritize energy projects, and we recommend a detailed audit for added benefits.

Engineering Economics, Inc. GS-21F-0043U Page 6

Detailed Audit

EEI’s detailed audit collects information about a facility’s energy, water and waste history and comprehensively analyzes conservation measures. This audit includes:

• Utility bills for a 12- to 36-month period in which the auditor evaluates the facility’s energy/demand rate structures and energy use profiles

• Specific tests and metering of energy-consuming systems to quantify performance and opportunities

• In-depth interviews with operations personnel to identify significant energy-consuming systems and understand annual and daily energy consumption and demand variations

This audit identifies the suitable energy, waste and water conservation measures for a facility. We provide a detailed financial analysis for each measure based on implementation cost estimates, site-specific operating cost savings, and the customer’s investment criteria. We provide enough detail to justify project implementation.

Concept Development and Requirements Analysis

Using the data collected from the audit / assessment, EEI’s sustainability professionals (including Certified Energy Managers) analyze and recommend performance improvements and energy savings.

If modifications are required, we recommend and design efficient solutions. Our analysis may include the following items:

Alternative Energy Source Evaluations

EEI develops comprehensive energy master plans, alternative energy evaluations (solar, wind, geothermal, electrification and biomass), and value engineering analyses for clients in the private and public sectors. We assess the following:

• Alternative fuels

• Environmental protection

• Operational modifications

• Equipment performance

• Management/maintenance procedures

Denver Federal Center Lakewood, Colorado Retro-Commissioning Services

Engineering Economics, Inc. GS-21F-0043U Page 7

We also provide facility owners/managers with suggestions, such as producing energy through combined heat and power systems and waste-to-energy plants. These methods use byproducts of other systems to create primary, emergency, and back-up energy/power.

Energy Modeling

Energy modeling allows us to evaluate energy consumption and energy-saving opportunities. We consider the building envelope’s thermal performance; facility size, orientation, use, occupancy; and local climate. Our energy modeling team is well-versed in:

• Trane Trace 700

• California Title 24 non-residential compliance models

• eQuest (DOE 2.2)

• Energy 10 and Energy Plus performance analysis software

To analyze specific measures not efficiently/accurately modeled with commercially available software, we rely on our library of spreadsheet analyses to predict energy performance. We regularly update our library to analyze unique situations and opportunities. Our controls specialists also evaluate and recommend lighting control modifications (e.g., auto-dimming and shading of windows) to increase energy conservation.

Daylight Modeling

Our daylight modeling specialists help clients visualize the impacts of:

• Building orientation and form

• Fenestration placement and design

• Interior design on natural lighting, glare, and illumination

Life-Cycle Costing

EEI has exceptional life-cycle costing experience. Life-cycle costing is the analysis of a systems or device’s total cost over its anticipated useful life. We estimate lifetime costs to determine which option provides the lowest ownership cost and highest quality. Our estimates include:

• First cost (purchase, acquisition, construction)

• Energy cost

• Operation cost

• Maintenance cost

• Repair cost

• Replacement cost

• Residual values (resale, salvage values or disposal costs)

• Expected inflation of cost components

Engineering Economics, Inc. GS-21F-0043U Page 8

We also consider non-monetary aspects of systems (e.g., the benefit of a quiet HVAC system and productivity gains from improved lighting). EEI generally provides our analysis during the pre-design or design phase. We recommend life cycle costing as the first step to value engineering because it bases the design on the lowest lifetime costs instead of the initial cost.

Economic Evaluation

EEI uses several economic evaluation methods, including Simple Payback Period, Return on Investment, and the Benefit-to-Cost Ratio. We use programs that perform multiple simple-to-sophisticated economic analyses.

When our clients decide which projects to fund and their funding method, they often ask us to design the capital improvements, supervise installation, and commission the final product. We employ licensed professional engineers who focus on providing the best long-term solution considering the client’s budget, the appropriate systems for the application, and the abilities and resources of the operations and maintenance staff.

Energy Certification

As a leading provider of LEED commissioning and an approved Energy Star Partner, EEI understands the requirements for obtaining certification. Our in-house LEED Accredited Professionals guide clients through the ratings and certification of their facilities.

Carbon Footprint Analysis

Our team designed an operational carbon footprint analysis for businesses looking to account for, track, and reduce their emissions. Our analysis aligns with international reporting methodologies and relies on the most researched and accepted carbon reporting tools, including the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol. We help our clients determine realistic goals based on auditable data and prepare our clients for the future of mandatory reporting. We fully utilize the EPA Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool for data collection, input and reporting. This is connected to the LEED for existing building – Arc Platform allows the client to understand their environmental footprint fully and develop an actionable plan to meet targeted goals.

We adapt our services to organizations and their carbon reduction goals. Each organization is unique in size, activities, and processes and requires unique accounting standards. EEI provides individual building assessments and corporate-level portfolio analysis of multiple buildings and locations.

Performance Contract Review / Consultation

EEI guides clients who are considering performance contracts. We have significant experience in sustainability consulting, design review, energy audits, energy modeling, life cycle cost analysis, building commissioning, and construction management. Therefore, we are uniquely qualified to represent owners and work with energy focused companies to maximize project benefits while minimizing the owner’s risks.

EEI’s typical services include a thorough review of the energy conservation proposal and an analysis that verifies whether the proposed energy conservation measures are technically and economically sound. We consider constructability, sustainability, life cycle costs, return on investment, and potential adverse impacts on comfort/indoor environmental quality. We also review the propose contractual agreement to determine if it is balanced and that performance results are measurable.

EEI conducts peer reviews of the design during schematic, design development, and construction document phases. This includes design criteria, plans, specifications, and reports. Our construction QA focuses on installation quality, maintainability, and adherence to the project’s plans and specifications. We also identify omissions that could hinder start-up, preclude proper balancing of the systems, or inhibit long-term operations.

Once construction is complete, EEI utilizes design, product specification, field calibration, consumption, weather data, and accounting analysis to define and track building efficiency and the performance of installed energy conservation measures, confirming energy savings.

Engineering Economics, Inc. GS-21F-0043U Page 16

Building Commissioning, Retro-Commissioning, Re-Commissioning, LEED Commissioning, and Monitoring-Based Commissioning

EEI specializes in building commissioning, retro-commissioning, re-commissioning, and LEED services.

Since 1991, EEI has commissioned more than 200 million square feet in new and existing buildings, with total construction value on these projects exceeding $40 billion.

Independent third-party commissioning is the research-supported systematic process of making buildings operate efficiently and correctly. Our commissioning approach emphasizes a quality assurance program from design criteria creation through warranty and post-occupancy.

A Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study (2009) found that building commissioning is “arguably the single-most cost-effective strategy for reducing energy, costs, and greenhouse-gas emissions in buildings today.” The process typically reduces energy use by 13%, pays for itself in 4.2 years (excluding non-energy savings), and generates a 23% cash-on-cash return on investment. Commissioning provides benefits that substantially reduce the payback period and increase return on investment. The process:

• Ensures fully operational critical building systems

• Lowers operating and maintenance costs

• Increases system energy efficiency

• Improves indoor air quality

• Reduces the risk of “sick building” syndrome

• Decreases occupant complaints and enhances productivity

• Provides better environmental control

• Reduces maintenance/troubleshooting issues

• Ensures well-trained facility personnel

• Provides benchmarks for future performance evaluations

• Reduces life cycle cost of the facility

Retro-Commissioning

Retro-commissioning is the application of the commissioning process to an existing facility. The goal is to optimize the energy efficiency and performance of the existing systems in the context of the facility’s current functions.

We begin retro-commissioning with review of current facility requirements based on the owner’s needs and industry benchmarks for the performance of existing systems per their use and age. We compare the results of performance tests to the design criteria and identify deficiencies/areas for improvement.

An owner uses this information to plan, design, and implement solutions to system performance issues.

Our retro-commissioning approach is specific to each client and project. EEI provides the following retro-commissioning services:

Retro-Cx Phase Retro-Cx Services

Discovery • Existing facility evaluations

• Retro-commissioning plan

Repair and Tuning • Repair and equipment / component tuning

• Verification and system tuning

Renovation Planning and Budgeting

• Renovation scope and budget

• Prioritization

• Renovation master plan

Re-Commissioning

Re-commissioning optimizes a previously commissioned facility’s performance within its current configurations. We establish operational criteria based on the existing systems, current needs, and industry benchmarks. After testing the systems, we compare the results to these criteria and identify system deficiencies. We then work with owners to plan, design, and implement solutions to system performance deficiencies.

Re-Commissioning for Special Programs

EEI is a key re-commissioning service provider for Xcel Energy, Colorado’s largest energy utility company. Xcel offers a program to facility owners that use re-commissioning to identify and analyze peak electrical demand reduction opportunities. This program includes an evaluation (technical energy audit) that identifies low and no-cost measures to reduce energy use during peak demand times and provide long-term energy consumption savings.

Monitoring-Based Commissioning

Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx), also known as Connected and On-going Commissioning is a continuous building monitoring process via data analytics. EEI uses a Lean Energy Operations program that marries data analytics to ongoing commissioning, resulting in an effective MBCx program. Our program is executed via our proprietary analytics software, BalanceCx®.

BalanceCx is a building analytics software designed to monitor, analyze, and audit HVAC performance.

It is integral to our Lean Energy Operations program because it combines meter and system data. It analyzes the data and provides the results in ways that operators understand and can act upon to optimize system performance, perform benchmarking operations, and identify problems as soon as they occur.

EEI’s MBCx Program

• Define the roles and responsibilities of involved parties

• Publish an integrated “metering diagram” as part of the commissioning plan to communicate the overall metering and performance measurement strategy

• Install the proprietary analytic program: BalanceCx

• Develop the data management process to generate real-time data in BalanceCx

• Identify the meter points that will be measured, including all electric, gas, and water meter

• Develop a point list of all HVAC-related items to be tracked in BalanceCx

• Develop the necessary elements to track the performance of all measured equipment in the program. Evaluate the necessary changes to drive the facility to Lean Energy Operations

• Implement a fault detection process and recommended changes. Use EEI engineers as necessary to verify faults and coordinate changes with operating engineers

• Implement a task tracking process to verify that the operators implement the changes

• Develop an on-going BalanceCx training program for the operators

• Establish a detailed M&V Plan early on to track energy performance of the individual equipment in BalanceCx and tie it to monthly utility bill reporting. A summary of this information appears on a site-specific energy dashboard that tracks program performance and the M&V process.

• After occupancy and throughout the first year, the on-site operators have access to BalanceCx and receive updates on those actions to be implemented to drive results. This includes information on energy usage, water consumption and on-going tasks.
