CUYAHOGA COUNTY MUNICIPAL ENERGY PROGRAM
PROGRAM REVIEW
PROGRAM OVERVIEWU.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Funded by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Goals and objectives: Stimulate the economy and create and retain jobs;Improve energy efficiency in building,
transportation and other sectors.Build capacity at local level to reduce energy usage;
andReduce total energy usage and Greenhouse Gas
emissions.COUNTY EVALUATED ON HOW IT IS MEETING THESE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
MUNICIPAL ENERGY PROGRAM (MEP)
On September 30, 2009, Cuyahoga County was awarded a $5.7 million grant from the United States Department of Energy (DOE).
County set aside $3 million for the MEP.
Cuyahoga County Planning Commission is administering the MEP.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW

CUYAHOGA COUNTYGREEN ENERGY ECONOMY
Build capacity at municipal level; Use energy audits to benchmark current energy
consumption; Use U. S. EPA Energy Star Portfolio Manager
Program: Monitor energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions
and cost savings at county and municipal level. Analyze building energy performance (i.e. City
Hall, Police Stations, Fire Stations). Compare inventories to other counties and
municipalities to identify other energy conservation opportunities.
GREEN ENERGY ECONOMY IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY
Engaging regional players that in the aggregate represent a large part of the County’s energy usage
Building capacity on a County-wide scale to examine common goals, objectives, policies and procurement practices
Develop a Framework for implementation and alignment of common public sector goals, objectives, policies and procurement practices

MUNICIPAL PROCUREMENT PROCESS
SELECTING AN ENERGY AUDITOR
SELECTING AN INDEPENDENT ENERGY ENGINEER FOR THE ENERGY AUDITS
LOCALwww.aeeohio.comhttp://akroncantonashrae.org/www.clevelandashrae.org/
LOCAL • A& E engineering firms• Energy engineering consultants• List of experienced local A & E, energy engineers that have expressed interest in the Cuyahoga County MEP energy audits (based on advertisements placed in the Cleveland Plain Dealer
NATIONALwww.aeecenter.orgwww.ashrae.org/
ENERGY AUDITOR QUALIFICATIONS
A Professional Engineer (PE) with 3 years documented experience conducting Commercial Level II Energy Audits
AND / OR
A Certified Energy Manger (CEM) with 3 years experience or a Certified Energy Auditor (CEA) with 5 years documented experience. (Association of Energy Engineers)
ENERGY AUDITOR – NEED FOR REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE
• >15 years experience … better than 3 years• ASHRAE : Level ‘2’ energy experience?• Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing (MEP) experience?• Lighting experience only?• DDC / BAS / controls experience only?• Retrofit existing buildings vs. only new construction design experience?• Municipal / County/ State/ Federal experience?• References?• Past performance? (results vs. projections)
ENERGY AUDITORS – INDEPENDENT OF ESCO (AND NOT AN ESCO)
INDEPENDENCE - LACK OF ANY CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS
• Not a representative of a manufacturer. • Not a representative of a service provider.• Not an ESCO
…………………………………………………………………. The PE and/or CEM that provides the energy audit:
- Will not be permitted to be the ESCO that make the recommended improvements.
- No business connections with the ESCO for your municipality's projects.
ASHRAE - LEVEL 1 ENERGY AUDIT
ASHRAE - LEVEL 2 ENERGY AUDIT
ASHRAE LEVEL 3 ENERGY AUDITS( INVESTMENT GRADE )
Common before ESPC final project proposals
WHAT AN ASHRAE LEVEL 2 EM AUDIT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE
‘ PRELIMINARY ’ energy assessments are only marketing tools for ESCOs.
Not even an ASHRAE Level 1 Energy Audit
WHAT AN ASHRAE LEVEL 2 EM AUDIT LOOKS LIKE
DETAILED ENERGY STUDY with each ECM evaluated based on actual operating conditions, actual utility consumption and cost for each building, existing automatic and manual controls, hours of operation, energy consumption model, ECM recommendations and options, preliminary design, capital cost estimate, system capacity requirements, using conservative energy savings calculations and alternative ECMs

USING
CONSERVATIVE ASSUMPTIONS
MUNICIPAL ENERGY PROJECT - CONTRACTING OPTIONS
Traditional : Energy Audit, plans / specifications, advertisements, competitive bidding
Alternatives under ORC: OHIO HB 300 Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) – vendor provides capital and is paid back via a long term / exclusive legal contracts via documented energy savings . Pay for performance.
Contracts: Finance Director and Law Director might want technical assistance understanding the Ts & Cs.
OHIO HB 300
OHIO HB 295
THE E.S.P.C. OPTION ?
• ESCO = Energy Services Company • ESCP contracting with simple payback periods under 10 years under Ohio Law• ESPC and SUPER ESPC – used by the federal government for many of its energy conservation projects• LONG TERM contract – exclusive? Limitation on service agreements• CHANGES happens which can impact energy consumption• HDD and CDD• HOURS of operation• Need for M&V – by ESCO with or without independent verification of actual energy savings

An independent verification of a public ESPC contract – actual performance

‘DSM’ REBATES IN OHIO? (NEAR FUTURE)
Supply-Side energy management
Demand-Side Energy Management
DSM REBATES can be used to reduce the net capital investment in energy conservation projects and thereby improve the project’s ROI and NPV.
