  3. Revised Scope Two approaches to be pursued in parallel • Macro or Agency-level approach (analysis to be done by LBNL) • Micro or site-specific approach (analysis to be done by ORNL)

  4. Macro Analysis – Basic Concept

  5. Navy Sites Dataset

  6. Basis of Macro Approach • Red line is unadjusted baseline & black line is linear fit of actual data • Analysis is based on actual utility data reported by 26 Navy sites • Limited dataset - analysis will benefit by including data from more sites either from Navy and/or from other agencies • Analysis is using source energy to account for fuel switching projects • Percentages are used to allow combining data for comparisons

  7. Macro Approach – Key Findings • Load creep and utility unit costs significantly increase baseline • Both are increasing year to year • ESPC performance parallel to unadjusted baseline • Load creep happening at both ESPC sites and at sites where no significant EE activity has taken place • Accounts for 25% of the energy cost increase • Need for upward adjustment of the baseline when calculating savings from ESPC projects • Most Navy sites have experienced higher utility costs (approx. 10% per year), which can’t be explained by poor ESPC performance • These two factors largely responsible for discrepancy between the guaranteed energy savings in ESPCs and actual utility bills

  8. Year One Year Two Energy Use 104% 105% Energy Cost 111% 121% Estimated Adjustments to Baseline

  9. Next Steps • Expand the macro analysis by including more sites • Evaluate impact of other variables such as square footage increase, climate, ESCO payments for O&M savings, activity level (tempo) • Prepare a report detailing the macro analysis and key findings and submit it to the Federal ESPC Steering Committee • Publish a FEMP Focus article explaining the reasons for discrepancy between guaranteed savings from ESPCs and visible savings in the utility bills • ORNL to conduct site-specific analysis at five ESPC sites • Target date for completion: Summer 2005
