Florence City Schools

Periodic Savings Report

Prepared By Performance Assurance Support Services

June 15, 2012

Periodic Project Overview

Your Improvement Opportunities

· Continue to monitor the demand at several meters making sure that is being billed correctly.

Recent Success Stories

· The lighting issues at the High School Auditorium and the mechanical room at the Vocational building have been fixed.

Following is the savings report for Florence City Schools’ energy performance contract. As noted in the following pages, the total project utility savings through February 2012 is $371,657.

The energy efficiency capital improvements implemented by Schneider Electric and the continued attention to energy conservation by Florence City Schools are responsible for unit savings of 3,848,111 kWh of electricity and 41,646 CCF of natural gas. The district’s lower utility usage results in a smaller environmental impact representing an approximate 2,790 ton reduction in CO2 emissions. According to EPA estimates, this reduction is equivalent to removing 627 cars from the road for one year or planting 853 acres of trees.

In analyzing the energy data at Florence City Schools, a demand issue was found at three of meters. The meters affected were at Burrell Slater, Richards Center and Weeden Elementary. The demand at these locations read the exact same for multiple months in a row. Your demand charge is calculated by taking the highest average demand measured in a fifteen minute interval during the billing period. Calculating demand this way makes it near impossible for demand to be billed on the same number month over month. Schneider Electric contacted the engineer at the utility company about the demand reading issues seen at these meters. In speaking with the engineer at the utility company, they alluded to being unable to pin point the exact reason for this anomaly due to a lack of meter data. The engineer assured Schneider Electric that the meters at the affected areas have been checked and are now working properly. Schneider Electric will be closely monitoring the demand at each of these meters making sure that we do not see a continued issue. At this time Florence City Schools will not be receiving any sort of a re-bill for a credit due to a mistake in the way the demand was billed. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact your PASS representative.

Cumulative Savings Performance

This graph represents total savings to date relative to total guarantee to date. Savings are reconciled on an annual basis indicated by the larger dots onthe guarantee line. Reconciliation is based on cumulative savings relative to cumulative guarantee. The savings shown in this graph are based on ratesas defined in the M&V plan.

Annual Savings Performance

The graph above illustrates the month to month cost savings from previous project year to current project year for the entire project. The savings are basedon rates as defined in the M&V plan. The black line represents the fixed guarantee while the solid areas are the monthly cost savings. The goal is for themonthly savings to exceed the monthly guarantee and to sustain or improve on the year to year performance.

Tons of CO2 are the equivalent emissions based on the reduction in consumption. Cars for a year is the equivalent number of cars removed from theroad based on the reduction in consumption. Acres of trees is the equivalent quantity of trees required to absorb the CO2 that would have been emittedduring the production of the energy that was saved.

Commercial buildings in the United States used an estimated 18 Quadrillion BTU’s in 2008. That’s equivalent to 5,983 Million tons of CO2 emissions.
