Comprehensive Energy Efficiency Assessment and Implementation Process
This document outlines the detailed process for conducting energy assessments and implementing energy efficiency measures (EEMs) for customers. The steps include signing key agreements, completing pre-screening questionnaires, providing energy consumption data, and conducting technical assessments for both lighting and non-lighting measures. A comprehensive report is generated, benchmarking energy intensity and outlining cost-sharing opportunities. The initiative aims to drive efficiency through various measures and support from National Grid’s Energy Solutions Team, offering whole building assessments and follow-up consultations.

Customer Lead Generated 1 2 • Customer reads and signs the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) • Customer reads and signs the cost-share agreement • Customer completes modified pre-screening questionnaire • Providing energy use and building data (e.g. elec, gas, oil, sq ft, occupied hours, etc.) Project Expediter (PEX) or Small/ Medium Business Services(SMB) Vendor for lighting Technical Assessment Vendor(T/A) for non-lighting --- all fuels • Report drafted with Energy Efficiency Measure costs and savings • Low cost/no cost EEM’s • Capital cost lighting and mechanical EEM’s • Customer’s energy intensity is benchmarked • Spreadsheet calculates Watts/Sq Ft, Btu’s/Sq Ft • EPA Energy Star rank is established • 1 page benchmarking report generated Energy Assessment Meet with Customer to present benchmarking and determine next steps • Report reviewed and approved • Northboro Tech Review • Report sent to TSC for review <200kW >200kW Minimal >200kW High Benchmarking Customer offered S/MBS program • Present list of typical energy conservation opportunities • Review prescriptive incentives • Present best O&M practice information • Offer low cost energy assessment ($3-$5k per bldg) • Cost split 50/50 • Municipal customers offered 100% coverage on 1st study if app submitted after report 3 4 Customer • Meeting with Customer to present Report and determine next steps. • Technical Assessment (T/A) Vendor Whole Building Energy Assessment • Lighting Measures Proposed by PEX or SBS Vendor • Non-lighting Measures Proposed (prescriptive & custom) • Propose follow-up TA studies for Custom Project ECM’s • Stimulateefficiency among staff • Implement energy efficiency projects • Track resource consumption, costs re-benchmarking Action Plan Educational and other Green/Sustainable ideas proposed Energy Solutions to follow up on Prescriptive measures Technical Support Consultant follows up on TA Studies for Custom measures Implementation National Grid National Grid’s Energy Solutions Team continues to work with Customers for their energy efficiency needs & Projects Whole Building Assessment Initiative www.nationalgridus.com or www.thinksmartthinkgreen.com
