Specifications A product specification has a metric and a value An energy audit falls outside of traditional product specifications terms 2 approaches – traditional and ‘expectations’

Specifications – Traditional approach Need # Rank Description Metric Units Margina l Value CN 1 1 Reduce total cost of energy at FSNM Reduction in total projected monthly energy costs considering implementation costs US$ >$350 CN 2 1 Recommendation of potential energy saving opportunities # of Energy Conservation Measure opportunities # >5 options CN 3 1 Evaluate energy saving opportunities budget impacts Economic implications of the energy saving opportunities – ROI, investment costs Time US$ CN 4 1 Understand current energy use Perform an energy audit of FSNM focused on the Willett Visitor Center - Highest Energy Use System Cost CN 5 1 Evaluate current gas and electricity billing structure Electricity - ∆ monthly $/k. W Gas - ∆ monthly $/Therm $/k. W $/Therm < 30% < 10% CN 6 1 Investigate alternative ESCOs and billing structures Electricity - %∆ monthly $/k. W Gas - %∆ monthly $/Therm $/k. W $/Therm < 30% < 10% CN 7 2 Analyze impacts of a 'green' billing structure Change in ($/k. W*yearly consumption) vs. tax incentives/year Ideal Value

Specifications – Traditional approach Need # Rank Description Metric Units Margin al Value CN 8 1 Develop a pilot test of a renewable energy project Projected energy savings per year (% of scale) US$ > $500 (10%) CN 9 1 Implement a pilot renewable energy demonstration-scale project N/A – further definition required CN 10 1 A comprehensive and cumulative final energy assessment report N/A CN 11 3 Develop a training program on energy saving techniques for FSNM employees Amount of per employee time required each 6 month period Time < 2 hrs CN 12 2 Energy conservation software for tracking energy consumption Approved by the DOE & EPA for energy management - Multiple options: cost base US$ <$5 k CN 13 1 Environmental conditions of specified FSNM locations remains with tolerances Specified relative humidity ± 5% %relative humidity 45 - 55% Ideal Value 49%

‘Expectation’ - Specifications Defined specifications in terms of an energy audit Project specifications are the agreed upon expectations of the total energy assessment process and outcome – ‘What is included and captured’ FSNM specifications are expectations regarding the explicit actions, information, analyses and results that the entire energy assessment project will contain Definition of the content in the final assessment report

Specifics of Utility & Facility Analysis Obtain site schematics, system breakdown and additional information required to conduct the audit Collect general site info: Size, age, condition and general use Description and envelope of site Collect and summarize: Utility costs & consumption data for past 2 years Energy & water usage for past 2 years Impact of structural or energy system changes Previous energy-related improvements 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
