  1. Rebuild Massachusetts and PHEEPEnergy Information Services Project Presentation to DCAM, EOEA, HUD January 4, 2006

  2. Agenda • Overview • Demonstration

  3. Rebuild Massachusetts • Division of Energy Resources (DOER) • Promotes energy & water efficiency in schools, municipalities, and public housing • Key strategies • Identify barriers and potential solutions • Demonstrate financial and technical feasibility of select solutions • Disseminate results • Funded by US DOE

  4. Rebuild Massachusetts Public Housing Energy Efficiency Project (PHEEP) • Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) • Improves energy and water efficiency in state-assisted public housing, using: • Performance contracting • Utility DSM programs • Other resources • Funding from: • US DOE • MA EOEA • Investor-Owned Utilities

  5. Rebuild MA / PHEEPEIS project • Providing customized, web-based energy information services (EIS) to: • Eliminate the barriers that prevent public agencies (and other customers) from: • Gaining access to energy information • Making effective use of energy information • Enable those agencies to implement energy efficiency projectsand track savings and emission reductions

  6. Energy information: the key to energy management • Public agencies need energy information to: • Benchmark usage and identify priority targets for efficiency investments • Develop baseline usage data • For performance contracting procurements • To measure results • Monitor and verify energy usage • Identify deviations from performance expectations for prompt response • Track utility expenses and generate financial reports and budgets • Develop emissions inventory and track and report emission reductions

  7. Barriers to obtaining and using energy information • Utility bills are typically paid and then stored in file cabinets. The data is not available for use in energy management. • There is no readily available link between utility bills, building performance, and occupant energy and water use. • There is limited access to utility bills by the people responsible for energy management and building performance. • Building level • Agency level • Supervisory agency level

  8. EIS features • Electronic download of utility data . . . • Can eliminate the need for manual data entry • Reduces cost and increases speed • Integration of utility billing and usage data with building and energy end-use information . . . • Connects utility bills to building performance • Point and click access . . . • Makes information easily accessible to users • Standard and custom reporting . . . • Delivers information in the form users need and can use • Automated report generation and distribution . . . • Allows easy, simultaneous sharing of energy information with all stakeholders in energy management, including: • Supervisory agencies • Executive administration • Accounting • Property management • Maintenance personnel

  9. 5 steps • Collect data • Building data: address, s.f., # of units, end-uses • Usage data: electricity, gas, oil, water • Match data • Match building data to usage data • Analyze data • E.g., calculate usage and cost per: agency, development, building, s.f., unit, etc. • Report information • To all stakeholders: supervisory agencies, agency director, facility manager, maintenance, accounting • Update data

  10. Reports • Usage and cost per: • Agency, development, building, s.f., unit, bedroom • Comparisons • Over time • Between agencies, developments, buildings, units, etc. • Greenhouse gas emissions • Baseline usage for performance contracting • Monitoring and verification of performance contracting investments • Energy savings over time

  11. Demonstration
