5 ACG Energy Management Program PRINCIPLES Independence Energy Management practiced in accordance to the ACG process provides holistic, testing-based energy management integrated with third-party ACG Commissioning services maintaining Owner Advocacy throughout the process THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE IS THE PRODUCT! Optimum Performance + Efficiency address energy efficiency as well as building performance enhancement Team Based collaborative team approach among the EMP, Owner, building operation & management personnel, test and balance professional, commissioning agent, and others Cx and TAB are vital and inseparable components of EVERY energy management project to investigate, measure, optimize, and maintain efficient and acceptable building performance

6 ACG Energy Management Program PHILOSOPHY What is Energy Management to the ACG EM Process? A systematic and holistic process of identifying where and why energy is used in a facility and using that information to continuously measure, manage, and minimize the energy consumption while meeting performance standards. What is an ACG Energy Management Professional? A professional consultant who by demonstrated experience and education possesses the technical, management, and interpersonal skills to effectively lead an Energy Management Team through the ACG Energy Management Process resulting in achievement of the Owner s stated performance goals.

ASHRAE (1) : There are not sharp boundaries between these levels. The levels are general categories for identifying the type of information i that can be expected and an indication i of the level l of confidence in the results.

Plan for initial functional testing during Building Investigation to optimize the use of on-site time. Integrate any TAB elements of EBCx investigation into client proposals to provide a clear idea of project costs.

125 EBCx Activities - INVESTIGATION SITE INV VESTIGA ATION Some investigative tasks, especially field testing, contribute to EBCx as well as potential ECMs and FIMs. Integrate EBCx into project plans from the start to ensure project efficiency. Goal of EBCx is to optimize systems according to design intent, in addition to addressing issues of energy use and operational efficiency. EBCx activities will inform the development of ECMs and FIMs, and vice versa.
