  4. New construction outlook remains weak Considered to be operating in a global recessionary market Businesses pinched more than ever Operating costs continue to rise with intense pressure to reduce Access to cash and credit more limited Limited appetite for capital investments without clear payback Energy use in buildings projected to grow Up to 40% of total operating expenses of some buildings Contributes to Climate Change Tremendous amount of energy-related policy to Improve environment and reduce oil reliance Stimulate the economy and create jobs Reduce risk and increase business confidence Understanding Today’s Operating Realities An unprecedented energy and operating environment

  5. Opportunity is with existing buildings New construction outlook remains weak Large cost saving potential for energy improvements Buildings account for 45% of total energy consumption in Hong Kong Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union Buildings account for 72% of total U.S. energy consumption Retrofits enable 20-50% cost savings Potential for job creation Ability to reduce environmental impact Proven technology, low risk retrofit approaches and financing are available to public entities and private corporations Furthering Energy Efficiency

  6. Building an Energy Efficient Building Plan • Many of the world’s best companies do not have effective business processes to align their facilities’ infrastructure needs with their business plans • As a result, facilities engineers, who are responsible for the comfort, health effects, operating specifications and utilities management, often get trapped in a “deferred maintenance / catch-up loop” Linking building performance to business objectives benefits building owners, facility engineers and occupants

  7. Develop an Energy Program • Assemble a team • Building owner • Facility manager • Energy solutions provider • Department representatives • Appoint a team leader Build an energy management team with “buy in” from key internal stakeholders, including owners, managers and department heads

  8. Define Program Objectives • What are the desired outcomes? • decreased operating costs • higher operations performance • better occupant comfort and productivity • tax benefits • environmental certification • others Identify energy management goals that reinforce the organization’s overall business objectives

  9. Document the Facility’s Energy Profile • The energy profile: • Includes energy costs and consumption data • Benchmarks the facility’s energy consumption • Your energy management program will only be as good as the data you collect – accurate tracking is vital! Successful strategic energy plans combine the latest climate control technology with consistent monitoring and personal decisions

  10. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Owners who view their building as assets link the physical environment to business outcomes – customer and employee satisfaction, productivity, operating expense reduction, among others These buildings can be “high performance” and tie to the mission, values and results of a business Critical question: Is your building overhead or an asset? • Value to people the building serves (environment, comfort, safety) • Value to customers and community (competence, environmental responsibility) • Value to the bottom line (cost savings, avoidance, ROIC)

  11. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: What are your driving factors for change? • Every building, project and customer is different – making each project unique • Modeling begins with understanding: • Why project was initiated • Goals and objectives • Appetite for risk

  12. Goal to Remain Budget Neutral Capital Contributionfuture planned monies allocated today to broaden project impact Energy Budget Capital Budgetmoney for projects planned to be completed in the future Energy Savings from Conservation Measures Operating Budget Operating Savingsnon-energy savings from conservation measures and maintenance practices Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: How will you fund your project? • Three budget categories • Energy budget • Operating expense budget • Capital improvement budget • Potential for more robust projects • Evaluate impact beyond simple payback to energy budget • Energy projects reduce operating and capital improvement budgets

  13. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: How will you fund your project? • Goal: Allocate potential savings and capital to fund project and stay in budget • Set capital budget and revise annually – project out several years • Don’t spend capital in large amounts for major energy projects when they happen • Allocate capital amounts in an annualized approach • Plan for $100K per year for 10 years • Rather than $500K in year 3, $250K in year 5 and $250K in year 7

  14. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: How will your project be delivered? • Though capital remains the same, performance can be guaranteed by providers • Providers compensated based upon success in achieving goals • Contracts typically stipulate how incentives will be paid out for elevated performance or penalties assessed for missed targets. • Performance criteria examples • Reliability (uptime, # of unplanned incidents), • Efficiency (COP) • Operating status (state of readiness, availability) • Field conditions (clean towers, condensers, air intake) • Output (Joules, kW, Ls, Lpm) • Capacity (peak output matched to load) • Quality (power quality, load factors, IAQ) • Rate of economic return (sustained energy efficiency) The Aberdeen Group, February 2007

  15. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: What changes can be made based upon financial objectives? • Purpose of the building determines the investment strategy • If a lifecycle return / financial approach is taken, owners can enjoy the benefits of everything listed on the chart = significant energy, operating, environmental and business benefits

  16. Top 25 Energy Conservation Measures • Many, many Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) technologies and applications  need a methodology to assess and rate • Methodology developed using Six Sigma analysis processes and tools • Evaluation process based on 5 key customer and Trane “importance factors” • Savings potential, practicality, commercial viability, risk management, business differentiation • Score of 0-100% with 100% being the best ranking Utilizes six sigma methodology to select energy measures

  17. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: What costs need to be considered when financially modeling an energy project? Visible Costs • Total cost of ownership approach • All of these factors need to be addressed at some point • Modeling the building as a long-term asset • Offers greater financial transparency • Will ultimately save energy and operating dollars throughout the life of the asset Price/Time Engineering Charges Energy Costs CFC Issues Maintenance Costs Equipment Shutdown Costs Construction Change Orders Legal Costs Security Costs Start-up Delays Indoor Air Quality Being Green Costs Fire Protection Cost Performance Problems Hidden Costs

  18. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: How do owners ensure ongoing performance of energy projects? • Proactive maintenance strategy • Ensure that desired outcomes are throughout the life of the asset • Have an agreement that is cost-beneficial and provides value-driven service - doing so will avoid capital, energy and repair costs • Return on investment: 10 times • Reduction in maintenance costs: 25%- 30% • Elimination of breakdowns: 70% to 75% • Reduction in downtime: 35% to 45% • Increase in production: 20% to 25%. • --- FEMP Guide, page 5.4

  19. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: What is the financial model (example)?

  20. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical question: What is the financial model (example)? • Model offers comprehensive view • Driving factors, funding and budget allocations, capital expenses, total cost of ownership and financial return • Analyzes cash flow over project life • Model incorporates more ECMs • If owner considers only energy savings in financial decision • Project would yield a 11.7 year payback • If owner considers energy, operating cost, maintenance and asset replacement cost savings over the life of the project • Project yields a 3 year payback and it generates positive cash flow

  21. Making the Case for Energy Efficient Buildings Critical statement: Different Payback, Same Return on Investment • Return calculations dependent on benefits received beyond initial payback • Guaranteed returns support analysis beyond simple payback calculations and provide financial basis for long term investment in sustainability • Simple payback calculations help assess risk • Guaranteed savings minimize risk of evaluating longer term projects
