Comprehensive Resource Management

1 Comprehensive Resource Management A holistic view Presented by: Roger Wigfield Mike O Connor

2 Comprehensive Resource Management Resource Management is frequently addressed only in project sized bites, never as a program The current OSPI and Department of Commerce funding creates an opportunity to initiate a comprehensive resource plan Comprehensive resource planning will reap benefits in improved facilities, lower utility costs, and a reduction in future capital project costs for years to come

3 Elements of a Comprehensive Approach Ongoing Activities * Resource management * Maintenance management * Personnel management * Systems management Project Based Activities * ESPC Projects * Capital Projects

4 Resource Conservation Management Efficient Operations and Behavioral Changes * Small adjustments save a lot of energy and money with minimal impact to occupants Organizational Participation * Direction and support from upper-level management * Institutional wisdom from the trenches * Designated person to coordinate Resource Conservation Manager Partnership Audit, Evaluate, Re-evaluate, Communicate

5 Resource Accounting Resource Management * Tracking and trending > Identify outliers, unexplained changes, billing errors, rate changes * Graphing and communicating results * Sub-metering & Interval Data > Analyze consumption by end use (lighting, plugload, HVAC) > Like-space comparison > Daily peak loads and demand leveling >Existing sub meters often not used

6 Resource Conservation Management New way of doing business * Federal and State Attention > Call for energy conservation and independence > Greenhouse Gas reduction and EnergyStar requirements * Budget Crisis >Less money spent on utilities, more on jobs and programs > RCM pays for itself; additional savings reinvested in conservation * Economic Recovery > Established conservation ethic > New employee orientation: This is how we do things here.

7 Maintenance Management Maintenance Management Systems Smart purchasing and system replacement * High efficiency motors * Toilets * Irrigation systems * Lights * Chillers, boilers, heat pumps Trending of HVAC Systems * Weekly review of system trend data can save 10% or more off utility bills by itself, and greatly improve comfort

8 Personnel Management The right person in the right place * Resource Conservation Manager * Utility bill analysis * HVAC technician to review system logs * Consider departmental assignments Plumber in charge of water savings Training Incentivizing

9 Systems Management Metering & verification of individual energy using systems * M&V can be set up by an ESCO * Ongoing activities can be done by HVAC personnel * Metering of individual systems is a critical element

10 Systems Management System commissioning for not only capital and ESCO projects, but on an ongoing basis * Most systems require commissioning at least every five years * It is important that commissioning include field verification by trained personnel, and include system trending (metering)

12 Energy Savings Performance Contracting What is ESPC? * The most cost-effective process for completing building energy upgrades * A means to use utility savings to pay all project costs * A partnership of the owner, the ESCO (energy service company) and the GA Energy Team The current opportunity regarding ESPC funding * OSPI funding * Commerce funding

13 Energy Savings Performance Contracting What can be done with ESPC projects through the leveraging of these grant funds * Standard upgrades >Lighting, controls, boilers, chillers, heat pumps, water conservation, irrigation systems * Shell improvements >Windows, doors, roofs? * Sustainable systems >Solar thermal and PV, ground source heat pumps, even small wind?

14 Energy Savings Performance Contracting What else can be done with ESPC projects through the leveraging of these grant funds * Ongoing maintenance of savings > Monitoring/Metering & Verification > Building sub-metering > Ongoing commissioning > Maintenance management system setup?

15 Capital Projects Renovations * If energy using system are involved, consider using ESPC >Capital funding can be leveraged with grant funds to create a larger project with more energy savings and improvements >The benefits of ESPC can improve the project Guaranteed costs, savings and performance Use of preselected contractors Use of your choice of equipment New construction * Standards (codes, efficiency standards, etc) do not create efficient buildings or systems People do! (or don t )

16 A unique need Now is the time for action! * National security * Economic and fiscal tightening * Need to retain jobs in public facilities, and create jobs in the economy A unique opportunity to use ESPC to leverage yourself into a comprehensive resource plan * Save 30% to 40% off your utility bills and keep it off! * Receive grant funds and incentives to pay $2 for every $1 you invest South Kitsap School District - Cost Leveraging for ESPC Projects Dollars of "Other Funds" per District Dollar $2.50 $1.94 $2.00 $1.50 $1.00 $0.46 $0.42 $0.50 $0.32 $- Project 1 - Original Lighting Project Project 2 - Heat Recovery Chiller Project 3 - Junior HS HVAC Project 4 - OSPI Project * Use this as an opportunity to create a long term plan, and start the implementation immediately!
