3. RISK & RESPONSIBILITY SUMMARY
Responsibility Description Proposed Approach
Energy Prices Contract energy prices have been set in the M& V plan. These rates are
based onthe current electric and natural gas costs and are escalated
based onthe US Department of Energy.
M&V Costs The M&V costsare fixed for the duration of the contract. EEI accepts
all risks associated with performing the M& V activities as stated herein.
User Participation Lighting and ECMs: The savings for the lighting and ECMs are based
on the continuation of the current operating strategies. This
responsibility is acceptedby the customer after project completion. The
savings from the operation of the EMCs are based on the control
sequences outlined herein. Since these control sequences could be
overridden by the facility operating staff, the customer accepts
responsibility that the ECMs will continue to operate as specified.
Equipment Performance Lighting: EEI is responsible for ensuring the new lamps and ballasts are
as specified and meet the guaranteed energy savings.
ECMs: EE] is responsible for maintaining fan, pump motors, etc. so that
the power draws remain at the baseline level.
HVAC equipment: EEI will ensure the performance of equipment
outlined in project scope and verify performance during
commissioning, The customer is responsible for maintaining all
equipment and providing annual maintenance records to EEI upon
request.
4, EXISTING CONDITIONS DESCRIPTION
Refer to Final IGA report for existing building descriptions and Energy Conservation Measures
chosen to be implemented by the School District. Careful consideration was given to each measure
and its interaction with the overall building performance.
5. OPERATING HOURS
Lighting operating hours are based on 180 school calendar days, from 6am-4pm, with some
allowance for evening programs or sporting events, as well as operating hours during the summer, in
portions of the building, from 7am-3pm. The post-retrofit period operating hours is assumed to be
the same as the baseline period. Should the customer change the operating hours, the estimated
savings will not change, and baseline updates will need to be made.
Operating hours for other equipment such as boiler, fans, pumps, etc. are based on the baseline
calculations and in the case of a substantial change in schedule, EEI should be notified by the
customer so that baseline adjustments can be made.
Heating set-point will be no higher than 68°F and cooling set-pomt no lower than 72°F. EEI has
estimated the load on the facility based on historical data. The customer is responsible for
maintaining similar operating hours and load conditions in the post-installation period. If operating
hours or load increases, the estimated savings will not change, and baseline updates will need to be
made.
