What is Energy PerformanceWhat is Energy PerformanceSolutions Solutions

• The Energy Performance Solutions (EPS) describes a holistic individualized assessment and approach to a clients energy management concerns, employing a series of synergistically designed programs including energy-reduction technology using both mechanical and electronic operation, encompassing all areas of energy consumption. The approach involves custom-designing energy-efficient solutions for each facility based on the unique needs of that facility.

Savings are Insured and Savings are Insured and GuaranteedGuaranteed

• Proposed energy savings generated by EPS can be insured by one of the world’s largest commercial/industrial insurance companies

• Using the industry-standard FASER software, savings are verified regularly in accordance with the North American Energy Measurement and Verification Protocol

8

FinancingFinancing• CLIENT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO MAKE ANY

CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND IN MANY CASES MAY RECEIVE POSITIVE CASH FLOW

• Total cost of the EPS Program is leased to the facility owner over a fixed period of time.

• 100% of the cost of the EPS Program and installation can be financed through a number of financing partners in such a way that monthly lease payments can be less than the average monthly savings.

9

Project DevelopmentProject Development• Client completes a pre-engineering

survey and provides utility bills and mechanical schedule sheets and diagrams

• Based on this information, Trigem engineers do a preliminary load analysis of the facility using proprietary load profiling methods.

10

Engineering Scoping Engineering Scoping Assessment ReportAssessment Report

• A preliminary EPS Report detailing the scope of the project, accurate savings projection, project cost, program benefits, etc. is then presented to the client.

11

Project Development - PSAProject Development - PSA• Client is presented with a EPS Professional Services

Agreement (“PSA”) indicating minimum savings and maximum payback period

• The PSA provides that if specific parameters are met in the final proposal the client has the option of going to contract within 90 days or to pay a pre-determined engineering fee if client chooses not to proceed with the project

• Customer signs PSA

12

Project Development-DesignProject Development-Design• Professionals possessing specific competencies

as applicable based on analysis of client’s facilities perform an in-depth investment-grade energy audit of the facility. Extensive interviews are conducted with the client’s engineering staff.

• Based on audit data, interviews and utility bill information, EPS sets up computer model of facility. Client input is taken seriously and every effort is made to accommodate specific needs into design.

13

Project Development Project Development Load Profile and Savings ProjectionsLoad Profile and Savings Projections

• An in-depth load profile of facility at various ambient conditions is calculated.

• EPS accurately projects savings throughout the year.

• EPS is then able to reduce the total building heating and cooling loads and in some cases even downsize HVAC equipment.

14

Project DevelopmentProject Development Final ProposalFinal Proposal

• Senior Energy Advisors present client with full detailed proposal indicating the percentage of savings and project costs.

15

Project Development:Project Development:Contracting and FinancingContracting and Financing

• Client enters into agreement with EPS

• Agrees to implement energy conservation program based on the proposal.

• Trigem may arrange financing.

• If financing is arranged, there is no capital outlay on the part of client. Program pays for itself from energy savings generated!

IRR is infinite!

16

Project ImplementationProject Implementation

• Energy Conservation measurable designed, managed and implemented throughout the project from start to finish.

• Client does not experience any business interruption.

17

Maintenance and Impact Maintenance and Impact ReportsReports

• EPS will furnish periodic reports detailing energy savings realized and how it relates to savings projections.

• Pre qualify potential client by asking questions to determine what client needs are and to determine the proper solutions based on their need. Usually involves an initial meeting and/or phone conference and preparation of a one page quick-view application by the client.

• If client has interest then Tri-Gem will request current utility bills (12 months) and either have client complete an initial survey.
