Fort Stanwix National Monument Energy Audit Contract FSNM Expectations Contract Customer: FSNM, contact: Debbie Conway Guide: Brian Thorn P 09453 Please Note: In place of traditional MSD Specification Section

Project Expectations - Contract • FSNM Project expectations specifies the energy assessment process, content and outcome – ‘What is included and captured’ • FSNM expectations define the explicit actions, information, analyses and results that FSNM energy audit project will encompass

Scope of FSNM Energy Audit Project The Team will: 1. Perform an energy audit in line with EPA and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy guidelines 2. Perform on site inspections as part of the audit process 3. Determine energy saving opportunities (ESO) 4. Prepare a detailed engineering and economic report assessment report 5. Review current utilities billing structure 6. Develop and Implement pilot renewable energy scale project article

Energy Audit: Expectations & Details Data Collection: • Obtain site schematics, and additional information required to conduct the audit • Obtain existing systems specifications and environmental criteria • Collect general site info: – Size, age, condition and general use – Description and envelope of site • Collect and summarize: – Energy costs & consumption data for past 2 years – Utility & water usage for past 2 years – Visitor data • Establish previous energy-related improvements

Energy Audit: Expectations & Details Data Analysis: • Construct current energy consumption profile – Analyze efficiency of Willett Center building envelope • Evaluate inefficiencies for energy savings opportunities – Model systems & equipment energy consumption – Quantify current energy consumption • Generate occupancy patterns and schedules • Establish ‘base year’ average energy consumption – Analyze utility trends and/or anomalies – Charts and graphs describing current energy use patterns

Energy Audit: Expectations & Details Inventory systems and equipment: • Compile inventory and perform physical inspection of mechanical & electrical system: – – – – – Cooling systems and related equipment Heating and heat distribution systems Automatic temperature control systems and equipment Air distribution systems and equipment Outdoor ventilation systems and equipment Kitchen and associated dining room equipment Exhaust systems and equipment Hot water systems Interior and exterior lighting Water consumption end uses

Energy Audit: Expectations & Details Elicit systems and equipment energy usage through: • As applicable to each system: – Loads – Proper sizing, – Efficiencies – Hours of operation – Current operating condition for systems – Feasible replacement systems Perform onsite assessment

Energy Savings Opportunities: Expectations • Identify and propose potential ESOs at FSNM • Provide implementation plan with requirements – Short term – operation and maintenance approaches – Long term – retrofit through replacement, upgrade systems • Provide analysis methodology with environmental considerations • Provide detailed justification supporting proposed maintenance, material, system, equipment and operational savings • Comply with applicable state, federal and local codes and regulations for all proposed ESO

Energy Savings Opportunities: Expectations Economic Analysis of ESOs • Provide detailed estimate of the cost • Estimated annual savings with variances • Detailed life expectancy of each ESO with return on investment

Review of Current Energy Billing Structure • Determine utility tariffs and commodity price histories • Supply current ESCO rate options • Provide billing structure of alternative energy service companies (ESCOs) • Provide, if applicable, rate-saving proposals

Pilot Renewable Energy Scale Project • Evaluate renewable energy options • Generate possible demonstration scale projects • Select appropriate renewable energy project • Design, construction and test scale project • Implement scale project

Report Content Expectations Format: • Executive Summary • Table of Contents • Intro: Purpose, scope objective • Facility Description • Current Energy consumption • Energy Saving Recommendations • Energy Bill Analysis • Implementation plan • Renewable Energy demonstration scale-project • Conclusion • Appendices

Initial MSD Specifications Attempt: • A product specification has a metric and a value • An energy audit falls outside of traditional product specifications terms • The traditional specifications approach does not align to an Energy audit
