  4. Proposed Performance Contract #2 • Background: • University was enabled to enter into performance contracts in 2003 • First project ($4.3M) was financed in March 2010 with a 20 year term & was completed in October of 2011 • Verified energy savings from PC #1 to date are $979,387 • Proposed project is the second energy conservation performance contract (PC) undertaken by UNCW • Performance contractor selected and approved by the UNCW BOT for Performance Contract #2 is Ameresco • Investment grade audit with third party oversight by Celtic Energy was undertaken to validate the proposed energy savings • Performance financial risk lies with Ameresco

  5. Proposed Performance Contract #2 • Benefits of Energy Saving Measures: • Energy cost savings • Efficient and code compliant mechanical, electrical and control systems • Increased levels of safety - correct ventilation rates • Improved HVAC system controls for system monitoring • Increased comfort levels • Efficient exterior lighting • Reduced frequency of re-lamping • Invest savings in excess of the guarantee in other energy saving measures on campus (SB 1292)
