WHY ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS ARE NOT COSTS BUT ASSETS TO BE MANAGED
Lowering Operating Costs
Reducing GHG’s
Satisfying sustainability initiatives
Green Building Certification and Labelling Systems
Improving tenant comfort
Demonstrating Leadership through benchmarking
Emulating Best Practices in other buildings

Audit Stats since 2011
250 Audit Funding Applications$1,200,000 incentives issued60+% of sites audited so far have applied for Retrofit Incentives
Incentives to Owners for completing building energy audits, RCx studies, and Building System Audits.
Incentives to Tenants of facilities for completing energy audits within their space.
AUDIT FUNDING
AUDIT FUNDING PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Incentives for Energy Studies
Audit Funding Program
Four levels of incentives
Electricity Survey & Analysis for
Owners
For Energy Audits on Entire Building
Electricity Survey & Analysis for
Tenants
For Energy Audits of Tenant Spaces
Building System Audit
For optimizing existing system
performance
Detailed Capital Intensive
ModificationsFor deeper analysis on capital projects
identified in ESA
Existing Building Commissioning
For Rcx your Chilled Water System
Process & SystemsFor customers running
complex systems
AUDIT FUNDING AND EB COMMISSIONING PROGRAM CHANGES
Changes being considered for 2016 and beyond:
EB Commissioning to expand beyond chilled water to include other electricity consuming building systems
Detailed Analysis of Capital Intensive Modifications may be discontinued
AUDIT FUNDING OBJECTIVESHelp you achieve Greater Energy Efficiency
Investigate Benchmark Implement Measure
ASHRAE LEVEL AUDITS
LEVEL 1: WALK-THROUGH SURVEY
LEVEL 2: ENERGY SURVEY AND ANALYSIS (ESA)
LEVEL 3: DETAILED ANALYSIS OF CAPITAL-INTENSIVE MODIFICATIONS (DCIM)
