Performance Contracting Utilities $ New Bill $Historical Guarantee: $Diff.= $Payment $Savings >= Payment Improvements Guarantee PC Review Up-Front Cost
Performance Contracting: What? Solar (PV) Major Mechanical Lighting Building Envelope Water Cons. Power Systems Energy Management
Performance Contracting • The goal of PC is to implement a project that will be offset by the energy savings as a result of the project Example: $100,0000 Annual Energy Savings x 15 Years = $1,500,000 Break-Even Facility Project Opportunity
Performance Contracting: How? Stage 1: Determine if PC is right for you Stage 2: Develop Project: Investment Grade Audit Stage 3: Implementation, measurement and verification
Step 1: Determine if PC is right for you • Feasibility Assessment • Completed: November 2008 • Reported to Tim Zearley • Workshop • Completed: March 2009 • Reported to “Energy Committee” • Board Member Joe Castillo • Board Member Dewayne Weagel • Dr. Brian Walker • Tim Zearley • Select DPOLJUSD Maintenance Staff
Step 1: Determine if PC is right for you • Preliminary Energy Audit • Completed: July 2009 • Reported to “Energy Committee” • Next Steps: • Investment Grade Audit – TBD • Construction & Implementation • Measurement and Verification of Performance

Suggested Energy Conservation Measures • District-wide Lighting Modernization • Satisfies Facility Master Plan • EPAct 2005 Compliance • Comprehensive Energy Management System (EMS) • Future State Energy Mandate Compliance (e.g. AB32) • Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Upgrades • Satisfies Facility Master Plan
Lighting Modernization • Classrooms and Workspaces • T12 Fixtures T8 • Federal Mandates require phasing out of T12 Magnetic Lighting Ballasts by 2010 (EPAct 2005) • The energy efficiency AND light quality will be improved as a result of these upgrades. • Gym Lighting Upgrades • Upgrading the gymnasium lamps to high-bay T8 or T5 fluorescent fixtures will allow for instant ON/OFF control while reducing electricity demand. • Exterior Lighting Upgrades • Campus Security Enhancement
Lighting Modernization • Opportunity • Retrofitting the T12 lamps to T8 lamps and electronic ballast will save energy while maintaining proper light levels. Upgrading the gymnasium lamps to high-bay T8 or T5 fluorescent fixtures will allow for instant ON/OFF control while reducing electricity demand. • Occupancy sensors can be installed in some areas where occupancy varies to reduce operation when spaces are unoccupied. • Benefits • Installation of the new lighting systems and controls will reduce the electrical demand and energy use. The light quality will be improved as a result of these upgrades.
Energy Management System • Opportunity • A district-wide Energy Management System (EMS) upgrade will provide tighter control of schedules and setpoints for HVAC equipment. • Benefits • An EMS provides significant energy savings by running equipment only when it is needed while providing comfort for the occupants in the facilities. • Relevant Considerations • Expansion and modernization of existing Alerton EMS. Also note that no controls exist at Dos Palos High School, which is an opportunity for excellent operational and energy savings.
HVAC Upgrades • Opportunity • Replacing units that have reached the end of their economic useful life with new, high efficiency units will decrease electricity and gas use and provide better temperature control. • Benefits • Capital Cost Avoidance strategies • Operational Savings can be realized as soon as possible • Opportunity to choose brand/type of equipment • Planning for best operating system structure
Performance Contracting: How? Stage 1: Determine if PC is right for you Stage 2: Develop Project: Investment Grade Audit Stage 3: Implementation, measurement and verification
Next Step: Investment Grade Audit Schneider Electric will provide Customer with the following: • A list of energy conservation measures planned for each facility; • A description of how the energy conservation measures would interact with the existing equipment in the facilities; • Financial analysis; • Guaranteed energy services contract for the facilities; • Utility analysis; • Project pricing for a turnkey installation
Investment Grade Audit Investment Grade Audit Agreement 10¢ / square foot Owner pays if Schneider Electric hits target, but Owner decides to back out. Otherwise, costs rolled into project financing. Preliminary Audit defines the target savings.
Investment Grade Audit • Proposed Cost: • $33,317 • If project is selected following IGA: • No up-front cost; Cost is rolled into Construction Contract • If no project is selected following IGA: • the district would be responsible for the IGA cost Proposed School Board Vote on IGA December 17, 2009
Cost of Doing Nothing… • Lost Savings in Energy Consumption • $92,865/year x 15 years = $1,392,975 • Lost Facility Improvements (Capital Avoidance) • Break-Even Project Opportunity: $1,392,975 • Total Opportunity Cost of NOT leveraging energy savings for facility improvements…. • Lost Energy Savings + Lost Facility Improvements = $2,785,950
Financial Risk Evaluation • District Risk • Cost of Investment Grade Audit (note no up-front cost if project moves forward to construction) • $33,317 • Opportunity Cost = Guaranteed Opportunity Lost • Cost of Doing Nothing (Lost Energy Savings + Lost Improvements) • $2,785,950
Financial Risk Evaluation $33,317 Potential Loss (IGA Cost if NO Project is Selected) vs. $2,785,950 Guaranteed Opportunity Lost
