Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit Program 8
Building Retrofit: Overview Building Owners (public & private) Provide buildings Define project CCI ESCOs Do energy efficiency work Provide performance contract & guarantee of energy savings Financial Institutions Provide capital Provide new financing structures 9
Building Retrofit: Approach Focus on Existing Buildings 50 70% of GHG in urban areas Use 25% more energy than new buildings Typical Building Lifecycle Costs Financing 14% Design & Construction 11% 75% of building s costs are after construction Integrated whole building systems Alterations, Energy & Operations 75% 10
Role of the City/Owner Select buildings for program participation Establish cross-functional team and leader to manage project Remove municipal barriers to EPC tendering, permitting, and project implementation Qualify ESCO and financial partners for services Adopt policies to encourage private sector building owners to invest in energy efficiency 11
Role of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) ESCOs have agreed to provide Energy Service Performance Contracts (EPC S) EPC s used by U.S Govt. and many municipalities Contract agreements w/ owners include a PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE Savings repay cost of finance ESCO compensates for shortfall Ameresco Carrier Chevron Energy Solutions Constellation Energy Honeywell Johnson Controls, Inc. Noresco Schneider/TAC Siemens Trane 12
Energy Performance Contract: How it Works RFQ and selection of ESCO Preliminary energy audit Recommendations Performance/Contract agreement Investment Grade Audit Implementation Ongoing measurement and verification 13
CCI Negotiated Terms and Conditions Minimize project costs Ensure best practices Guarantee maximum price Gainsharing Transparency 14
EPC Payback Model Debt Financed Project During the contract s guarantee period, most of the energy savings are allocated to paying the debt service on the project Customer typically retains all savings beyond those allocated to project financing debt service 15
Benefits of the EPC Approach Guaranteed results Lower energy use Lower building energy costs Capped project cost Turnkey implementation One accountable party (ESCO) Self-funded Ensures source of funds to repay finance costs Avoids need to fundraise and/or divert funds from existing operating budget 16
CCI Purchasing Alliance Global agreements with suppliers for energy efficient technologies based on volume aggregation and stimulation Product selection criteria: Impact on GHG Quality and innovation Price discount Price discounts Discounts typically 5%-40% off best customer prices based on order size, local market conditions, and city/esco specifications BUILDING PRODUCTS 3M BASF-PFE Carrier Optimum Energy Solar Gard Tremco Roofing LIGHTING PRODUCTS Acuity Brands Lighting Cooper Lighting Dialight Inc.
