  14. Massachusetts’ Clean Energy Leadership • Governor Patrick awarded 2012 Green Governor of the Year Award

  15. LBE and AEP Updates

  16. Program Goals & Objectives

  17. Major Accomplishments AEP Press Release and Kick-Off Event AEP Certification Designation Innovative Utility Vendor Contracting Ramping Up Energy Efficiency Audits Agency Survey Results Commissioner Cornelison & Commissioner Sylvia announcing the AEP to the public on Jan 15th, 2013.

  18. We plan to retrofit In a total of We have With And AEP Sites Working days Sites In Progress Sites Complete* Sites Initiated. 700 700 204 32 172 Program Status (as of Q4 2012) *In order to achieve AEP Completion, small projects must complete construction, large comprehensive projects must enter construction, and new review projects must complete an energy audit.

  19. Schedule Status • We will have initiated or completed 204 Sites by the end of Q4 2012.

  20. AEP Completed Sites AEP Complete: 32 Sites (Includes 12 sites that have completed construction and 20 sites in construction) In Q4 2012, DCAMM completed retro-commissioning of the HVAC system in the Taunton Career Center. The effort cost $27,000 and yielded $13,500 in annual energy savings.

  21. AEP Initiated Sites AEP Initiated: 172 Sites • RFP (estimated $24 million) to retrofit the Erich Lindemann and John W. McCormack buildings in Boston. • An audit was completed on the GardnerDistrict Court by a Utility Vendor.

  22. AEP Sites by Certification Group Across the entire AEP portfolio, DCAMM and DOER will target a 25% reduction in energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy costs. Consistent with statewide goals, DCAMM and DOER will prioritize energy efficiency.

  23. AEP Certification

  24. AEP Certification Large Site Springfield Technical Community College Current Status: RFP Issued On schedule to achieve AEP Certification from a reduction of over 25% in energy use, energy cost, and GHG emissions. Small Site Taunton Career Center Current Status: In Construction Will achieve AEP Certification upon construction completion for reaching reduction of over 20% in all three categories. Occasional Use Site Salisbury Beach State Park Current Status: Audit Complete The energy audits of the site identified eight (8) ECMs that, upon implementation, will enable the site to achieve AEP Certification.

  25. Innovative Utility Vendor Contracting DCAMM is signing direct contracts with utility vendors with the authority of the MA Green Communities Acts. These contracts will use pricing already negotiated by utility companies. In December 2012, RISE Engineering (a division of Thielsch Engineering, Inc.) became the first vendor to execute the new DCAMM Utility Vendor contract. In Q1 2013, DCAMM will be reaching out to ALL utility vendors to offer participation in program. Deputy Commissioner Sandra Duran congratulates Thielsch’s Vice-President Vin Graziano on becoming a DCAMM approved Utility vendor

  26. Mass Energy Insight (MEI) • MEI is a free, web-based tool provides consumption data and delivers customized, easy-to-use reports • Tracks monthly account energy use for Massachusetts state agencies for electricity and natural gas through automatic downloads • MEI is provided at no cost to state agencies by DOER as part of the Leading By Example program.  • Submit user names by March 15, 2013 to receive login information and access. Trainings will start this spring. • Currently 13 agencies have requested user names

  27. Enterprise Energy Management System • Real-time energy metering at 25 million square feet of state buildings • 18 Colleges, Prisons, 4 Hospitals, Downtown Offices, 5 Courts • Target larger buildings and complexes • Provide building level information for all fuels • Actionable on-line information for comparisons and immediate response • Contract with EnerNOC until fall 2014

  28. EEMS Example 1: UMass Lowell Tsongas Center

  29. EEMS Example 2: Fitchburg State University

  32. Renewable Thermal Technologies • Biomass: highly efficient, variable systems with low air emissions • Using wood or other biomass such as grasses, in the form of cordwood, pellets or chips • Solar Hot Water: collectors providing additional heat for space heating, domestic hot water, process heat or other low temperature heating needs • Heat pumps: highly efficient systems of compressors/expanders and heat exchangers using the thermal energy of ambient air, water or underground to heat and cool buildings • Attention: account for electricity consumption by pumps and compressors • Advanced biofuels: biomass derived liquid fuels delivering at least a 50% reduction in lifecycle GHG emissions • Biogas: digester gas from Anaerobic Digestion or capped landfills used for heating purposes at the site of capture, or by mixing it in the natural gas pipelines.

  33. PROJECT HIGHLIGHT Hogan Regional Center & Wrentham Developmental Center Energy and Water Retrofit Construction Began:October 2011 Substantial Completion: February 2013 DCAMM, the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), J.C.Cannistraro and KlingStubbins have recently completed large-scale energy upgrades at the two facilities. Measures included power plant decentralization, solar PV installation, lighting upgrades, and HVAC improvements. The upgrades are on track to save nearly $2.5 million in energy costs annually. The 500kW solar PV installation at Wrentham will save over 6 million kWh of electricity annually.

  34. Discussion Break-Out • Specify a sustainability project you have been able to implement using your own internal resources and some of the key benefits to your facility • Discuss the top 2-3 key reasons you were able to successfully implement this project • Identify ways in which DCAMM, LBE or other state agencies could be helpful in ensuring that these types of projects can be implemented on a wider scale

  35. Thank you and please join DCAMM and Cannistraro for a tour of Wrentham’s upgraded power plant and 500 KW ground-mounted solar PV installation.
